I had Professor Vaziri for both years of the program, and he played a huge role in my growth as a designer. He's tough but genuinely cares, and his direct feedback helped me improve quickly. The projects from his classes became strong portfolio pieces that helped me stand out in interviews and job applications.

I had Professor Vaziri for all two years of the program, and he played a huge role in my growth as a designer. He’s definitely tough and has high expectations, but that push is what makes his classes so valuable. His feedback is direct and sometimes intense, but it consistently helped me improve my work and think more critically about design. He’s extremely knowledgeable and stays up to date with the design industry, so the projects feel very relevant to real-world work. Many of the projects I created in his classes became portfolio pieces that helped me stand out in interviews and land opportunities. Overall, he genuinely cares about his students and their success!

Professor Vaziri has high expectations but he really cares about your progress. He is very knowledgeable and keeps up with seemingly everything happening in the design world, making him a great asset before entering the workforce. It can be hard to adjust to his pace at first, but I have definitely noticed my work improving under his guidance.

I have had Professor Vaziri for three semesters now, and with his guidance I have felt truly supported in the graphic design program at UMD. He can be a bit tough, but his teaching method has really pushed me to be a better designer. I highly recommend taking his course.
