Professor Kristin Hughes was recently awarded a 2022 Aggie Brose Award for her incredible work at the Octopus Garden, a landmark in the Friendship neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The Aggie Brose Awards celebrate local work that contributes to a “safe, educated, and empowered community”.

Daniel Rosenberg Muñoz, an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design, was recently named a 2022-2023 Wimmer Faculty Fellow by CMU’s Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation.

For 43 years, Charlee Brodsky has been a fixture in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design. As a professor of photography, Charlee has guided countless students through the art of capturing light and color, the craft of developing a photographic narrative and the skills needed to turn a camera into a powerful communicative tool. This year, Charlee, who is a self-described “photographer, educator, grandmother, mother, wife, dog-owner, and a few other things,” is retiring from the School of Design and to say that she will be missed is an understatement.  

The School of Design is thrilled to welcome two new additions to our faculty for the Fall 2022 semester - Kelsey Elder and Kelsey Dusenka. Kelsey Elder is joining our faculty as a Assistant Professor in our Communication Design and Kelsey Dusenka is joining us an Adjunt of Practice.
