Misty Kluesner

Misty has three passions in education: (1) to break down silos and connect educators with one another; (2) to help all students build their creative confidence and find where it intersects with their curiosities so they can become tomorrow's innovators and problem solvers; and (3) ensure educational equity so that all students can reach their potential. In her 15+ years in education, Misty has served as Assistant Director for the MERIT program at the Krause Center for Innovation, worked as a digital innovation specialist, and partnered with various ed-tech organizations to promote creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. She was SV CUE's 2020 Technology Innovator of the Year, is an Adobe Creative Educator Leader, and a member of the inaugural Figma Educator Creator Program. Currently, she works at Digital Promise as an Associate Director of Learning Design on the Digital Equity team.
