Maggie Duval is passionate about the intersection of technology, art, storytelling, futurism, and community. As Projects and Events Coordinator for UNM-Taos Film and Digital Media Arts, Maggie supports initiatives that encourage student enrollment and expand creative opportunities for emerging artists. She’s the director of OTaosuCon, Taos’ first pop culture festival—encouraging career pathways for youth creators via the art and fandom they love.

A seasoned speaker, Maggie has presented on education, futurism, and the maker/gig economy across venues from Austin to London. Her work explores how technology and creativity can build community, empower learners, and support mission-driven change.

She spent decades co-conceiving and executing immersive events, including productions at SXSW and beyond. In the futures and education realms, she researched and co-developed interactive educational kiosks and curriculum for a technology and media master’s program in Norway. She also co-developed and produced two experiential learning-centered events, called STEAM3: The Future of Education, at the University of Texas, Austin (2014), and Georgia State University (2015).

She has been in tech since 1988, and a freelance web developer since 1995. Concurrent to her work with UNM-Taos FDMA, she is a member-owner of Resolana CoLaboratory—a cooperative that works with mission-driven organizations to experiment with human-centered solutions. Rather than transactional product and service offerings, the CoLaboratory works relationally with clients to discover the tools and approaches each unique challenge needs, from web development and film to interactive design and beyond.
