New Faculty

The Department of Design is excited to announce the addition of two new faculty members. Angela Wu is joining the Animation/Illustration program. She has worked on a variety of projects including stories, comics, games, illustrations, and websites. She's interested in new technology and its creative potential. If she can teach some, make some, learn some, play some—that's a good day. She's happy to be joining the full-time faculty at SJSU. 

Kohar Scott is joining the Industrial Design program. Her background is a focus on Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) in the field of product design. Her client list includes industry leaders in consumer electronics, pro-audio, toy manufacturing, personal care, and soft goods. Kohar's current research revolves around the use of materials, AI, VR, and AR to solve problems in the design process.
