Zevensuy Rodriguez

Zevensuy Rodriguez serves as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Miami, specializing in design and interactive prototyping within the academic landscape of Miami, FL.

His educational foundation includes:

• Bachelor's degree in Visual Communications from the University of Miami (2007)
• Master's degree from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) (2011), where he was recognized as a Fellow

Rodriguez's research pioneers novel interfaces for internet-connected objects, exploring how users physically interact with digital ecosystems. He innovatively merges traditional craftsmanship—such as woodworking and metalworking—with advanced digital fabrication methods including CNC milling and 3D printing, creating hybrid material experiences that challenge conventional design boundaries.

Following his graduate studies, Rodriguez established Howlin' Wolves in Brooklyn, NY—a prototyping firm executing diverse projects across web development, electronics, and custom fabrication. The company served as a practical extension of his academic work, translating theoretical research into tangible user experiences through rapid prototyping techniques.
