Summary
Ayodamola Okunseinde is an assistant professor of Interaction and Media Design at Parsons with 12 years of practice bridging art, design technology, and multimedia production. She brings an uncommon blend of academic depth—currently pursuing a PhD in Cultural Anthropology—and hands-on studio leadership from co-founding a gallery and directing creative teams. Her background includes high-impact visual and digital work for institutions like the United States Mint and the International Monetary Fund, where she led multimedia projects, web production, and accessibility standards. As an educator and “magic builder,” she translates research into experiential design and rich media that center humanistic perspectives on technology. Based in the New York City metro area, she mentors emerging designers while running courses and studios that fuse theory, craft, and production. Colleagues note her ability to move seamlessly between fiscal and creative direction, making her equally effective in classrooms, galleries, and institutional contexts.
