Mary Domowicz is an artist, writer, and educator based in the East Village of NYC.
Mary has a strong urge to nurture fellow creatives. She is currently serving as Director of the Design, Digital Arts and Film Programs at NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS). She hires and oversees about 150 adjunct faculty, manages an administrative and technical staff of eight, and addresses student concerns from annual enrollment of about 4000. She administrates about 450 courses per year in 17 certificates, in subjects such as filmmaking, video production,
cinematography, producing, editing, audio, visual effects, photography, animation, product design, interior design, graphic design, and web design.
Key responsibilities as Director include departmental strategic planning, curriculum development, financial planning, budgeting (departmental budget of $2M against net revenues of $3M), and oversight of tactical operations, such as scheduling courses. Also served as Chair of the APS Non Degree Task Force, which shaped parameters of a new intranet for academic planning and course monitoring.
She taught 19 workshops and two intensives in SCPS’s graphic design certificate program since 2003. She has also been an adjunct professor of graphic design at NYU’s Steinhardt School, Parsons, UPenn, and SVA. She has been active in AIGA, the professional association for design; over the course of eight years she developed 40 programs, culminating with service on AIGA|NY’s Board of Directors. She earned a masters degree in Graphic Communications Management at NYU’s Steinhardt School; she earned her bachelors degree in Visual Art at Rutgers University.
Mary had been a graphic designer for 22 years, the last 12 as an independent contractor. Through her consultancy Domowicz, Inc., she led synergistic collaborations
which exercised conceptual development and project management muscles, gravitating towards projects that offered access to high quality resources and benefited from relentless attention to detail. She both subcontracted to design firms and spearheaded projects directly with clients in publishing, education, entertainment,
and service industries, for clients such as Harper Collins, Rutgers University, The Moth, and Corcoran. Print projects ranged from multiple component capabilities packages, annual reports, and graphic standards manuals, to magazines, book packages, and CDs; interactive projects ranged from websites to electronic newsletters.
Mary develops stories for performance on stage. She was a founding member of Hearsay (HearsayNYC.com), an ensemble of autobiographical storytellers; members told stories on NPR, at The Aspen Comedy Festival, and on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Mary produced then directed two Hearsay nightclub shows. She also serves on the Advisory Council of New York’s premiere storytelling organization, The Moth (themoth.org).
Mary is captivated by narratives and visuals, as well as their integration; she is seeking collaborators for filmmaking.
