My Courses
COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site
This site is designed to help you find fieldwork/study situations of approximately eight hours per week at an internship site approved by the Department Internship instructor such as an advertising agency, graphic design firm, corporate design office, publications art department, photography or illustration studio, TV or multimedia production company. Students will be required to keep a learning journal of their internship in the form of a blog using Openlab. A portion of the class will be devoted to presenting and sharing experiences with classmates. Students will learn how to assess their talents, update their resume, and promote themselves and their work through social networks. Students will be required to setup and maintain at least two social media networks such as: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. The instructors for this class are there as mentors if you have not yet found an internship before registering for the course. However, the instructors do not find an internship placement for you. It is your responsibility to find a position that fits your personal career path and help you transition to full time employment upon leaving the halls of CityTech. Ideally, you will use this site to find an internship the semester before taking the COMD 4900 class.

My Projects
The COMD Futures Collaboratory supports faculty and student research in emerging technologies, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) in art, design, and advertising.
Realizing the value of the research experience at the undergraduate level, this project is committed to fostering research opportunities for City Tech students. Faculty and students can use this project as a place to share announcements about research opportunities, as well as a place to offer information about the experiences students and faculty have had in their research endeavors. A handbook on effective mentoring, developed by the Undergraduate Research Committee, is currently available for download.
Many Voices | Decoding Stereotype
MANY VOICES: An open access journal of writing and research authored by and for emerging designers. The goal of this journal is to provide an open platform for emerging designers to publish their writing and research, strengthen their sense of belonging in the design fields, elevate emerging voices, and bring diverse perspectives into the study of communication design history, practice, and theory. DECODING STEREOTYPE – VOLUME 1 The work to be included in this volume will address the use of stereotype in adverting media. The writers have decoded ethnic, religious, racial, gender, or other stereotypes, identified how they are used to sell a product, and demonstrated how the media industry has reinforced (or challenged) societal biases of the time.
