Teaching and Academic Research

I am an experienced instructor, workshop facilitator and corporate trainer, having taught UX design, market research, customer development, and financial decision making at startup incubators, hackathons, conferences, boot camps and traditional classrooms.

I teach UX and UI Design and Web Design I and II at CUNY New York City College of Technology. I have also taught UX bootcamps and workshops at General Assembly, NYC Code and Design Academy and various technology incubators in both classroom and corporate environments.

I am available to teach workshops and tutorials for your team and at industry events. Contact me for information.
