--- title: News | Len Kinor description: "Len joined the COVE team in 2018 and works with the team in developing curriculum for the Visual Literacy modules as well as facilitating many of the workshops. \n\nLen began his career teaching English at St. John’s Jesuit—when it was simply St. John’s. In 1992, he took a sabbatical and completed a year of volunteer service running a homeless shelter in Hazard, Kentucky as well as establishing a food pantry in cooperation with the Salvation Army at Hazard-Perry County Community Ministries." --- [![COVE Logo_Reverse white_PMS_RTM](https://see.covectr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/COVE%20Logo_Reverse%20white_PMS_RTM.png?width=1578&height=723&name=COVE%20Logo_Reverse%20white_PMS_RTM.png "COVE Logo_Reverse white_PMS_RTM")](https://www.covectr.com/home) - [Learn](https://www.covectr.com/learn/) - [Workshops](https://www.covectr.com/workshops/) - [Organizational Training](https://www.covectr.com/organizational-training/) - [Licensing & Train-the-Trainer](https://www.covectr.com/licensing-model/) - [Consulting](https://www.covectr.com/safety-risk-management-consulting/) - [Resources](https://www.covectr.com/resources/) - About - [The Art of Seeing Art](https://www.covectr.com/the-art-of-seeing-art/) - [Partnerships](https://www.covectr.com/partnerships/) - [Who We Are](https://www.covectr.com/who-we-are/) - [Case Studies](https://www.covectr.com/case-studies/) - [Contact](https://www.covectr.com/contact-us/) # LATEST NEWS [![principles of design](https://see.covectr.com/hubfs/Principles%20of%20Design%20blog.jpg)](https://see.covectr.com/blog/improving-hazard-recognition-using-principles-of-design) By: [Len Kinor](https://see.covectr.com/blog/author/len-kinor) on April 20, 2020 #### [Improving Hazard Recognition Using Principles of Design](https://see.covectr.com/blog/improving-hazard-recognition-using-principles-of-design) Those of you familiar with Visual Literacy understand how it can enable better ...
