Richard currently teaches at Denver Ad School.

Jonathan Black

Jonathan Black (he/him) is hellbent on making sustainable graphic design the industry norm and shakes his fist at greenwashers, climate deniers, and people who pluralize the word design. Jonny has an MFA in Visual Communication and currently teaches at The University of Colorado Boulder.
