Teaching & Mentoring

Parallel to my full-time design practice, I consider it a privilege to teach Graphic and Interactive Design at some of the best art and engineering schools in Germany and the USA, in addition to volunteer instruction and mentorships.

Professorships at the Hochschule für Gestaltung – Offenbach am Main, NYU Tandon School of Engineering [Integrated Design & Media Department] as well as workshops, classes, and lectures at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin and REDI School of Digital Integration. Freelance instruction for online marketing @ The Digital Career Institute and part-time Lecturer for Design of Digital Media at iU International Hochschule, not to mention the odd session embedded as a online instructor at The English Farm [for more hands-on insights in the redesign of their remote teaching tools, dashboards, and teacher-/student- user-experience.]
