Terry Londy

A dedicated educator and design professional, Londy brings a strong commitment to innovative teaching, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and hands-on student-centered learning. Londy has been instrumental in shaping interdisciplinary design education at FSU, leading curriculum development, program coordination, and the integration of diverse design perspectives. His professional experience in design practice enriches his teaching and helps prepare students for the multifaceted nature of contemporary design work. As Director, Londy will guide the program’s continued growth, strengthen interdisciplinary partnerships, and support an inclusive, forward-thinking environment that empowers students to explore the full breadth of design. 

Terry’s research agenda is application- and practice-based, with a focus on portfolio design, practitioner-defined behaviors of high-performing designers, and the transferable skills and fundamentals that support hiring and early career success. The second area of focus connects Londy’s professional history and ongoing design practice to experiential graphic design (EGD), branding, and brand strategy, with an emphasis on wayfinding and signage systems, sports design, and stadium environments, and the relationship between fan experience and team identity. 

Terry’s approach to teaching centers on preparing students for professional practice through immersive, hands-on learning. He elevates coursework through site visits, experiential instruction, and physical samples and prototyping to strengthen technical knowledge and detailing. He founded and facilitates the IDDEAS Lab, integrating digital fabrication with woodshop craft to support prototyping and finished work, while expanding the annual design charrette through external reviewers, innovative topics, and student exhibitions. His integration of professional expertise in experiential graphic design and brand strategy strengthens students’ ability to navigate interdisciplinary connections within the interior design field.
