Biography
Michelle Blomberg is Residential Faculty in Digital Media Arts at Glendale Community College, where she teaches graphic design, UX, and career readiness. She also teaches graduate-level online courses as an Academic Associate in the Learning Design and Technologies master's program at Arizona State University's Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation.
Her classes are built around real work for real clients. Every Digital Media Arts student completes client projects or an internship before graduating, and she has long overseen the design of The Traveler, GCC's award-winning literary and visual arts publication. She plans each course the way a UX designer would, starting with what students need to be able to do on the job, including the AI skills their industries already expect.
She also co-chairs the Student Support and Success domain of the Maricopa Community Colleges AI Resource Center, looking at how AI can help students find the support that keeps them in school.
Outside the classroom, she is the mom of four college-aged children and helps her husband with his photography business. Together they spend as much time as they can mountain biking, snowboarding, and vanlifing around the Southwest with their two border collies. Her mantra: "Done is better than perfect."
