He came to the U.S. and OHIO to advance his knowledge in the industry, specifically wanting to teach design. While pursuing his Master of Fine Arts in Communication Media Arts at OHIO, he was able to teach classes and upon graduating, work his way up to an assistant professorship and chair of the visual communication gallery.
“I enjoy teaching because I love mentoring other designers,” Durado said. “When I previously worked for the Muscat Media Group as art director, I would mentor designers who were newly hired and see the potential they had, knowing that with time and collaboration, they could be great designers. The same goes for students, I teach so many students with such great potential and by mentoring them, am hoping to educate them to be award-winning designers too.”
Durado has won awards for his poster designs for the School of Visual Communications’ exhibitions, including his recent poster for the Women Photojournalists of Washington (WPOW) annual exhibit. He has also won awards for independent work he is commissioned to do, such as his new logo design for the Athens Rethink organization which won a Hermes Award, as well as work he does for an agency out of Marietta, The Stonewall Group, where he continues to create designs, videos, and annual reports.
