Michael Verbos

Profile

I am a maker and teacher, formally trained in Industrial Design (BFA RISD 2003). I’ve been a member of The New School community since 2006, initially as a technician and shop manager, and soon after began teaching, joining the Parsons Full-Time Faculty in 2008. 

 

For my first eight years at The New School, between 2008 and 2016, I oversaw Parsons’ CNC facilities, a teaching and production shop accessible to all students at Parsons, which offered machining and routing services in a diverse range of material and size. This work gave me a great deal of experience and knowledge on contemporary modes of making. Since then, much of my research has focused on digital fabrication, specifically on advanced or experimental CNC machining and routing. 

 

Before coming to Parsons, I designed objects for outer-space habitation, as an Industrial Designer at NASA’s Habitability Design Center (JSC), where I worked briefly on Shuttle (STS-114) and hardware for ISS. However, my primary focus at NASA was on CEV (Crew Exploration Vehicle), a spaceship which would eventually become the Orion spacecraft.
