In February 12 to 15 I got the honor to get invited to be one of the motion coaches for the @pixelsandprint at the @syracuseu
It turns out one of the animator coaches couldn’t make it and my friend @ajrigau talk really good about me.
Those days were incredible, we got the opportunity to design for @inmyfatherskitchen The students were divided in 5 teams, and we all work for the same purpose. My motion team was incredible, in 48 hours we got to create a 1 minute animated story about this organization journey and there logos.
Thanks to @renee_stevens@claudiastrong my incredible partner coach @noahhammerman and all the motion students for welcoming me with open arms and make me feel like family. I hope to be back next year!
MOTIOOOOONNNN!
PS: thanks to this, I got back the spark to be with students once again.
This past weekend, @newhouse_vis students participated in Pixels & Print, a 48-hour design workshop for social impact. Students were divided into different teams and worked with industry professionals to bring their amazing ideas to life. #designforgood #teamnewhouse
That’s a wrap! After an incredible 3 days, each team came together to deliver amazing presentations for this year’s partner @inmyfatherskitchen It’s amazing what dedication, passion and lots of snacks can do! 🍫 Hats off to all the students and coaches - amazing work! And thank you to @inmyfatherskitchen for being a bright spot in the Syracuse community 💛 #designforgood #inmyfatherskitchen

What does “design for good” mean to you? Today at the Pixels & Print workshop, we took a moment to listen to different voices in the room. Participants share their thoughts on how design can support communities, tell meaningful stories, and create positive change in both big and small ways. There’s no single definition of “design for good”, it grows from empathy, collaboration, and willingness to imagine something better together! Thank you to everyone who shared their perspectives with us today!!!
