Farmin Mirza
Presentation Specialist
With almost a decade of experience working to develop graphics, animations and visual presentations, I leverage a range of art and design disciplines to bring every math lesson to life. My goal when animating each Make Math Moments problem based unit is to craft an accessible mathematics experience through visuals and animations requiring me to immerse myself in the content to make it come alive and speak to the audience. When students have a smile on their face after engaging in one of the units that I helped to create, I also smile.
