Hi! I'm Robert Stribley. I've been working as a UX designer for about 25 years. My first role was as an "information architect." Since then I've been through many jobs titles and jobs, though I spent much of career working at Razorfish and Publicis Sapient in Manhattan. I've helped a wide array of clients improve their digital experiences. I've been teaching in SVA's Continuing Education program for quite a few years and am now very happy to join SVA's iXD program to teach a couple of classes, starting this fall. I'm also the author of Design for Privacy (Rosenfeld Media, 2025), a book that focuses on designing experiences with privacy in mind from a UX perspective.

Hi everyone! My name is Natcha Wongchanglaw, and I’m an SVA alum, photographer, visual artist, and educator originally from Thailand and now based in New York City. I’ll be teaching in the BFA Photography and Video Department. My work explores migration, identity, memory, and home through photography, installation, and alternative photographic processes.

I’m excited to return to SVA as a faculty member and support students as they develop both their technical skills and their own artistic voices. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing students gain confidence, experiment, and turn their ideas into meaningful work. I’m also looking forward to learning from my students and fellow faculty, building new connections, and continuing to grow as both an artist and educator.

Hi everyone, my name is Angelina Ding, and I am teaching two courses at MFA Visual Narrative this semester. I am the Director of Operations at MFAVN; Creatively, I work in film, animation, and design to examine how we share, gather, and remember as we move through land and history.

I'm looking forward to introducing new non-linear and non-Western forms of storytelling to my students. My film seminar asks the question: What does it mean when it is not a character or a situation that drives the story, but rather a big group of people, like a city, country, memory, or history? And what happens when that memory or history is complicated or rapidly changing?

Yinja Murnan – Expectations of my time at SVA

# data[].attributes.body
I’m Yinja Murnan, an SVA alum and a product strategist and AI-focused designer, currently designing at J.P. Morgan Private Bank. During my junior year at SVA, I met my professor and mentor Sally Chung, where I discovered my passion for interaction and product design, and I’m grateful to now be teaching alongside her. Teaching at SVA is a way for me to pay it forward by building community, sharing real-world practice, and inspiring the next generation of designers. I value this opportunity deeply and look forward to growing alongside students and fellow educators.

During my time here, I hope to challenge students to think critically, experiment boldly, and develop strong points of view about what works (and doesn’t) in the world of AI. I’m equally looking forward to learning from the SVA creative community and staying closely connected to how emerging designers are shaping the future. I see teaching as a two-way exchange that sharpens both student work and my own practice.

Hello hello! My name is Francisco Dias and I am an SVA alum from the Computer Art department. I'm returning to SVA to help my students achieve their full potential.

I graduated SVA in 2016, and since then I have had the honor to not only work on massive projects across a wide variety of mediums, I have gotten to work with, and learn from, some of the best in the VFX industry. When I think on my career, and what triggered my points of success, I think back on all the mentors I had along the way that inspired me, and pushed me to be my best self, both as a person and as an artist. I would not be where I am without them.

Now I'm here to be that encouraging force for the next generations of talent, and help up and coming artists reach their own fullest potential.

Hi! I am Isaac Orloff I am a visual development artist working in animation. When I was a recent college graduate, I remember getting a portfolio review from a prominent artist in my industry. One short 45 minute conversation changed my entire outlook on my craft and inspired me to work hard and accomplish my dreams. I want to take the knowledge I have gained from my experience and share it with new graduates the way it was shared with me. Having worked on many TV shows and movies, I can say that teaching and connecting with students has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Teaching benefits the students, but I also feel like I greatly benefit from their enthusiasm and every time I am in the classroom I am reminded of how much I love what I do.

Hi, I'm Edwin Zawadzki. I have taught graduate and undergraduate interior design studios for many years alongside my own interior architecture practice. At SVA I am excited to be focusing on teaching students to create the documentation instrumental in the translation of ideas into the built environment. Design studios must often gloss the endgame of construction so I am looking forward to getting into the details of how things get made and how students will need to communicate with the makers.

Hi! My name is Lucas Savarese and I am returning to SVA to teach 3D animation production II.

I'm excited to return to the hallways where I once studied, and get to see the spark in the eyes of the young artist who are now seated where I once was. I want to take this opportunity to help them expand their knowledge on all parts of the pipeline, and really open their minds to exploring it! I hope that this can better ready them for the industry, and can possible lead them down a path they didn't know existed. The fun part about art school is learning and devolping skills, and I want to focus on that as much as I can.

My name is Ryan Beckwith. I'm an SVA alum returning to the Cartooning and Illustration Department to teach 'Sequence and Storyboarding'. I've been a full-time freelance illustrator and designer since leaving SVA, and while I've worked across multiple industries from Film to Games, Publishing to Entertainment and even Law, most of my career has been illustrating storyboards for commercials and film. I'm thrilled to be part of this community once again - and excited to develop my thoughts on how to represent complex ideas as a sequence of visuals that facilitate communication between artists, film makers, art buyers ('the client') and art consumers. I often refer to this as 'visual translation'.

I recall seeking out faculty members as a student, almost as "bearers of a secret knowledge" - the ability to create what I see in my mind, and earn a living from it. It's a knowledge I've worked to master for 2 decades and one I look forward to passing along as it was passed to me.

Hi, my name is Susan Gargiulo and I'll be teaching for the first time at SVA in the MFA Computer Arts program. The class is Digital Game Production and I hope to leverage my experience making games for Nickelodeon and Scholastic by taking students through a digital game production cycle - from beginning to end. It's really important to learn how to work together as a team - and realize that collaboration is both challenging and exciting. I love the process of making great games from scratch - and can't wait to see the creative ideas that students come up with. I look forward to this opportunity.

Hello, I'm William Martin. I will be co-teaching in the MS ixD program a course called Mixed Realities. My background is first from architecture, which then went into academia (NYIT, Yale, Columbia), software engineering, product management, product strategy, and artificial intelligence (as cofounder of design practice Spatial Pixel). I hope to help introduce first-principles approaches to interactive design in tangible and spatial computing, and I suspect SVA may be the perfect place for students to challenge and invent new things in this field.

Hello my name is Lucia Steele and I am an artist with a MFA from The Rhode Island School of Design in Furniture Design. I am teaching a CE course called The Ideal Chair. This class balances design and theory since it lives housed under the roof of The Visual and Critical Studies Department. For me this course allows for the opportunity to revisit a prompt from my masters program and weave it into a context that all too often falls outside of the realm of conversations in furniture design. I grew up taking the kids art classes at SVA and myself have been a student of various CE offerings. I hope to gain the ability to look with fresh eyes at things I grapple with frequently in my practice, a beginners mind so to speak. I look forward to the unique perspective the students will bring for whom these conversations might be firsts.

Hi, I'm Cory Einbinder and I have been a designer and maker for over 35 years. I believe school is the time to take risks and make bold choices. As a teacher, I ask many questions from my students in an effort to have the students learn to question themselves. Why do they use certain materials, colors, patterns? Have they investigated other options? Are these the strongest choices they can make? As artists many things can block us from reaching our best potential, perhaps fear, laziness, or lack of commitment. With guidance we can discover those blocks and overcome them. I hope to provide that guidance to my students and help them realize their optimal selves.

Art: Unique Visions & Shared Human Experience

Hello my name is Nzingah Oyo and I am a Visual Artist / Photographer. This is my third year teaching at SVA as part of the adjunct faculty. I’m excited to be back in higher education, especially in an environment filled with talented young artists and professionals engaged in contemporary art practices. I believe that everyone has a unique vision. Some express simple yet beautiful ideas, while others explore the layered complexities of our shared human experience. My goal is to help students develop their own artistic vision with an open mind. I try design lesson plans that challenge and inspire, while also introducing students to the endless opportunities New York City offers to emerging artists who are committed to creating thoughtful, work that reflects society and the human condition.

Hi, My name is Michael. I'm a newly minted adjunct instructor teaching Fundamentals of Advertising to sophomores, but also work as a full-time strategist at a branding agency.

I had one very influential marketing professor who taught me certain relevant hard skills that ended up getting me a job about six / seven years later, and if it weren't for this person, I wouldn't have the career I do today. Because of this, I want to also inspire and empower the next generation of creatives, especially minorities, with the real, relevant tangible skills and knowledge needed to break into an increasingly difficult industry in this era.

I am an interdisciplinary artist originally from Germany and currently based in Brooklyn. My work spans photography, collage, printmaking, artist books, video, and installation. Rooted in feminist theory, my practice intertwines personal memories and narratives with the complex histories and enigmatic qualities embedded within photographic processes.

I have had the privilege of teaching across numerous graduate and undergraduate programs in New York, and having previously been an artist-in-residence at the SVA RisoLAB in 2023, I am very excited to rejoin the SVA community.

I look forward to immersing myself in the vibrant creative community through collaborative classroom experiences, studio practice, exhibitions, field trips, and panel discussions. My goal is to nurture interdisciplinary exploration, critical inquiry, and creative growth, and I anticipate that these interactions will enrich my own professional development, inspiring the continued evolution of my artistic practice.

Hi, my name is Dawn, and teaching at SVA in the BFA ID:BE program is an exciting, full-circle moment as I am also an alumna! I joined the program as an NCIDQ-certified interior designer to top up my associate's degree. The work I did as a BFA ID:BE student was inspired and more fulfilling than the professional work I had done for years prior in my practice. I want to continue that inspired leaning through teaching. I am detail-oriented and have a strong interest in how things work. To advance my design career, I focused my skills on construction documents. I find transforming a design concept into a tangible structure deeply fulfilling, and I want to help future designers appreciate this critical stage as well.

Hi, my name is Suejee Lee, and I’m excited to be teaching a RISO Animation continuing education workshop at the RisoLAB. I’m an animator and filmmaker with experience creating commercials, television, and live show visuals for clients such as Google, Netflix, and HBO. Earlier this year, I was the Spring 2025 Artist-in-Residence at the RisoLAB, which became a turning point in my practice. The residency reminded me how vital community is to sustaining creative work, and it left me wanting to build on that connection.

Through teaching, I hope to supplement my own art practice with a stronger sense of community. I find that students continually inspire me, and sharing my knowledge has been one of the best ways to stay creatively refreshed and engaged. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of the SVA community and look forward to learning alongside everyone here.

Hello, my name is Julia Santoli and I'm excited to begin teaching Art Writing in the Honors Department at SVA. My background is as a musician and sound artist, and I've been teaching art to various age groups over the past 10 years. I'm looking forward to working with SVA students, exploring the history of writing and how it can help us as artists, as another form of expression; as well as provide us with other perspectives on art work and art making. I'm also looking forward to joining SVA's community of faculty
