Portrait of Sahil Patel

About

I'm an Art Director, AI Design Strategist, and Educator. Equal parts maker, mentor, and systems-builder, with 13+ years across healthcare marketing, digital product design, and design leadership.

My arc: I graduated from Kean University's Robert Busch School of Design with a BFA in graphic design, then went into healthcare and pharma marketing at REALITYRx Communications, shipping work for Bracco Diagnostics and Integra LifeSciences through four levels of MLR regulatory review while adjuncting at Kean the whole time. Along the way I designed UX/UI for scientific instrumentation software at EDAX. In 2021 I went full time in the classroom, and today I lead the exact program I graduated from. As Program Coordinator I help run a 150+ student program with 5 full-time faculty and 20+ adjuncts, and I built the AI & Design course, where I write the briefs and direct two 12-designer sections a semester through node-based generative campaign builds.

And since 2012 I've run an independent design practice: branding, web, motion, and photography. The making never stopped.

Recognition

Off the clock

I'm a dog dad to Thor, an Australian Shepherd with strong opinions about my schedule. I shoot on a Sony A9 rig, build PCs, and will happily explain the difference between bourbon, whiskey, and scotch. At length. Unprompted. I refuse to pick a favorite; they're all correct.
