Digital Design Course Description

About

Katy Felker earned a degree in Creative Technologies with a minor in Communications and Multimedia from Berry College. She is an experienced UX designer, project manager, and teacher.
Driven by empathy and a natural curiosity about others, Katy’s secret weapon is her ability to slow down, lean in, and focus on the person in front of her to understand and empathize with their needs, finding the right solution.
In teaching, this means helping students feel seen, heard, and understood. It means equipping and empowering students with skills to turn the daunting into the doable.
With teaching experiences ranging from summer camps and overseas children’s conferences to challenge courses, and even co-teaching a freshman seminar course during undergrad, Katy’s ability to listen and connect with others has been a cornerstone of her success.
Katy attends Gospel Hope Church in Avondale Estates.
