I have set up this section for students to use as a resource for each class I teach. A prospective student can read an overview of the courses and view past student projects as well as see objectives and outcome goals for the semester. Current students taking a course will have all project handouts as well as a schedule for each project all available here.

My overall passion for teaching is equal and will at time surpass my passion for the work I develop as a professional designer. Working with clients demand a certain set of skills that compliment my teaching methods. Teaching demands a degree of execution that amplifies those design skills. Both of course have design as a common denominator yet can be placed on a different spectrum of design. I have always felt for me to be a successful teacher, my methods as a professional designer must work themselves into my lessons and projects I have developed throughout the years. While completely understanding the importance of a ‘bubble‘ placed around the education and handling of a student and their work, it is vital to to understand what they will face once outside the confines of the classroom. I work to carefully create this space where a student is exposed to real world environment problems while still giving a certain amount of leeway that allows for a student’s ambitious solution to work well beyond what may be allowed under stricter guidelines and limitations of a client.
