A recipient of Temple\u2019s Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching, she teaches across the Graphic and Interactive Design, UX\/UI Design, and Illustration and Emerging Media programs, and has also taught at Temple University Japan and Temple Rome. Her teaching is student-centric: she builds courses around who is in the room, prioritizes collaboration and critique as shared learning, and gives students room to experiment, fail, and find their own way to a solution. <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW38122839 BCX0\">Courses like Design Play, which treats game design as a vehicle for creative problem solving, reflect that approach.<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW38122839 BCX0\"> As Chair, she oversees the department\u2019s BFA and programs and leads curriculum development. Before joining Tyler, she founded Abby Ryan Design.
