Teaching Practice

Brian LaRossa is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute and teaches at The City College of New York. He has also taught at Fordham University and the New York City College of Technology.

His teaching spans typography, illustration, design theory, and professional practice. While each of his courses focuses squarely on its stated subject, he often blurs the line between disciplines. Through discussion, critique, and debate, students examine their intentions, articulate their ideas, and empathize with the audience. Self-knowledge, attention to detail, and ethical responsibility are key concepts he returns to again and again.
