Graphic Design Faculty Q&A: Minsun Eo

Minsun Eo focuses on practice that creates integrated design knowledge, system and experience for art, technology, architecture, fashion and educational sector. His New York-based studio explores graphic design methodology through core-contemporary design practice and media-brand identity development, exhibition & environmental design, print and digital. 

We recently asked Minsun to describe his experiences as a faculty member in 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网's Graphic Design Department. You can read his answers below, and check out a gallery of his artwork.


Can you tell us about your experience as at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网?

“From my five years of integrated teaching experience at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 plus over fifteen years of professional communication design field practice, I think 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 is not only one of the leading art education institutions but, more importantly, the most diverse and inclusive design community. Moreover, this community is the warmest and most welcoming place for a non-native/immigrant educator like me.”

What do you enjoy most about teaching at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网?

“Through 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网’s exuberant and inclusive academic atmosphere, I constantly broaden my interests in visual communication design practice as a scholarly exploration. Also, I can be part of fostering an inclusive and decolonized education environment for nurturing creative and responsible thinkers who consider not merely visual styles but cultural contexts and the appropriateness of their design practice. In addition, the 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 community actively explores paradigm shifts in visual communication design and art by embracing cultural diversity, current design practices, new technology, and history in exciting ways.”

How has teaching in the Graphic Design Department impacted you?

“As an educator and professional designer, every moment I work with the next generation of talented designers and enthusiastic artists in the 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 community is not only an exceptional teaching experience but also a meaningful adventure of learning. There exist full of constructive energy, ambitions, and possibilities.”

Looking back on my years of teaching in different circumstances at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网, I thought it was an excellent opportunity to reflect on what I have done before and what I do now, but most importantly, what I can do in the following years. One of my happiest moments as a teacher is when I meet with my former students to discuss their future growth after they took my courses and their graduation. And most of all, I learn from diverse students’ different approaches and tones of voice. I envision that we keep moving forward together. I hope to continue and share this rewarding experience at the 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 community as a practitioner who considers responsible education and its cultural ramifications.
