Served AIGA’s Design Educators Community as a #research moderator for their inaugural virtual summit event. From August 3–7, 2020, I served the AIGA DEC SHIFT as #research moderator for the virtual summit. As an online moderator, I guided more than 1,200 design educators in asynchronous conversations around research topics, methods, and presentations. This was a collaborative effort with Kelly Murdoch-Kitt, Associate Professor of Graphic Design in the Stamps School of Art & Design at Michigan University.
