About Karyn
With a BFA in Graphic Design from Moore College of Art & Design, and an MFA in Museum Exhibition Planning & Design from University of the Arts, I've been working in the design industry as an Art Director, Graphic Designer and Package Designer for the last 15+ years. In addition to working in firms, I've taught at Philadelphia University, Salve Regina University and have been a full-time Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Johnson & Wales University since 2007. Though teaching full-time, I'm actively engaged in the design industry as a freelance designer, taking on a variety of clients: from political organizations, large international corporations, to small local clients. I'm passionate about design for social impact and often designing in response to current political events. In addition to being passionate about social justice, I continually donate my services to animal rescue organizations across the country. I am a project based teacher, who draws on my industry experience, translating that into the classroom... from my teaching style, to the projects that I assign.
