Motion Graphics

In this course, students explore the principles of animation using shapes, typography, 3D layers, and cameras.

Students are told what tools and principles to use in their assignments but are given agency to explore subjects that interest them personally. As a result, they all find different ways to engage with the material and the subject matter of submissions varies greatly.

Note (edited Summer 2026): The videos below are shared through a YouTube Playlist. Due to updates via YouTube in early 2026, there is a bug in the YouTube embed links which makes it so that only the first video in the playlist plays, after which YouTube suggests different content. It’s annoying, and I’m figuring it out (reporting it and hoping YouTube catches on and fixes their mistake). To check out more videos of student work, please select my name in the top left corner of the video below, or click the “Watch on YouTube” option and select my profile. This will allow you to view the playlist. 

UX/UI Design

During this semester-long project, students were introduced to each fundamental step of the UX/UI design process. This project culminated in the creation of a new brand identity with an accompanying mobile app.

At the heart of this curriculum lies a deep understanding of user-centered design principles. Students researched industry trends, conducted user interviews, crafted detailed personas, and mapped out user journeys to meet their target audience before thinking about design. 

Students then designed wireframes in every fidelity, from low-fidelity sketches to high-fidelity interactive prototypes. Iteration and refinement were key in the process as their designs were subject to multiple rounds of user testing and feedback. 

Web Design

This course introduces the principles of Web Design using the online design software Figma. Students create low and high-fidelity wireframes as they learn to work collaboratively with other designers. Students also learn the basics of the programming languages HTML & CSS and develop their own static web pages

In the following examples, students recreated an existing web page using these skills. 

Graphic Design

In these courses, students explore methods for image creation, digital illustration, typography, and branding. Assignments are structured to inform rather than direct decisions and as such can be loosely interpreted or allow for freedom of expression. 

Play is used as a tool to increase student engagement. Letting loose and having fun with assignments is crucial. Students are encouraged to experiment with new forms and different methods of making throughout the design process.

The following are submissions for design assignments including posters, social media advertisements, album covers, collages, typography, and sticker-making.
