Teacher Visual Design, Graphic Design & Digital Publishing

In my job as a teacher I introduced students to the world of their future profession in the subjects Visual Design, Cross Media Design, and Digital Publishing.. I taught them to find solutions to the problems they face. They learned how to establish and maintain contact with customers. They learned creative and critical thinking to develop concepts, design, and produce for the given assignments. They chose the media that best suits for the respective goals. Ideas became solutions through innovative technologies.
