EDWARD MCFARLAND-CATALAN

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and later moving to the United States as a child, I felt a deep desire for a life that diverged from my roots. This longing wasn't about abandoning my past, but rather about evolving and connecting my heritage with the vast opportunities ahead. To pursue this vision, I immersed myself in learning, a journey that nurtured my creative spirit and ultimately led me to discover my passion for graphic design.

Now, as I transition into a teaching career, I reflect on how my unique background and journey have become sources of strength. My experiences, including my yearnings for something more, have equipped me to inspire and empower students who, like me, navigate the complexities of in-between worlds.

In an environment that embraces and celebrates diversity, true creativity thrives. I am honored to guide my students as they uncover the transformative potential of design, just as I have. Our intertwined stories stand as a testament to the power of embracing our differences as a catalyst for growth and innovation.
