Design for Sustainability and Visual Communication Design, teaching and research
Joining MRU!
After a short but extraordinary experience teaching in the United Arab Emirates, I am very happy to come back home 🇨🇦, and happier than ever to join as new faculty to the Department of Information Design at Mount Royal University. The field of information design plays a crucial role in today’s rapidly changing world, by effectively communicating complex information, enabling individuals and organizations to make informed decisions and meaningful connections.
2024 is going to be an exciting year, with exciting new projects and the continuation of my research interests. I am looking forward to begin this new journey in my academic career and to contribute to MRU uniqueness and excellence.

The StrC project on display
The ongoing StrC project initiated by Dr. Carlos Fiorentino is being displayed at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus for two months (January 30 to March 27). The exhibition was prepared by Dr. Carlos Fiorentino and Dr. Tomislav Terzin, and co-organized with Augustana Library. “Living colours” proposes a journey through structural colour to the visitors of the library. The installation offers hundreds of colourful specimens from Dr. Terzin’s entomology collection, as well as a microscope station to explore structural colours in detail, a selection of related books on the subject, and access to the StrC interface online–a taxonomic database that collects structural colour cases and scientific information intended to connect science and design innovation.
Designing always involves changing an existing reality into a desired one.
