Faculty
Design teaching is as much about hand-holding as about letting students explore myriad ways of visualizing and implementing. It is as much about shaping the minds as it is about imparting skills. To help students achieve their best, IILM School of Design is endowed with the best of design educators as faculty members. Professional designers are as involved in teaching at IILM as senior academics. We are proud to have one of the best students-faculty ratio in the country.
