19: Graphic Design Meets Instructional Design with Dr. Dawn DiPeri

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Dawn DiPeri about how she combines graphic and instructional design to run her co-owned small business, East End Advertising. She gives great tips on graphic design for new instructional designers! We even talk briefly about - gasp - COMIC SANS!

Dawn DiPeri is a Learning Designer at Harvard University where she works in the AERID lab helping a team of researchers migrate a face-to-face professional development teacher training curriculum online. Prior to working at Harvard, Dawn worked for the Center for Higher Education Leadership where she helped them rebrand themselves as Brighter Higher Ed. Dawn also helped them create courses for higher education professionals. Dawn has also co-owned a mbwe graphic and instructional design agency on the east end of Long Island for over 9 years. She has taught and designed college courses online, face to face, and in the hybrid modalities since 2012. Dawn writes and researches on topics of workforce development and education.
