I welcome conversations about professional opportunities, teaching, creative education, community partnerships, and thoughtful collaborations in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area as well as remote opportunities.
Design Education
I teach visual communication, information design, web design, and foundational design principles through a structured, hands-on process. My goal is to help students understand how design choices communicate meaning while building the technical skills and creative confidence to develop their own ideas.
My teaching experience includes courses in data visualization, digital and emerging media, web design, and design foundations at American University and Marymount University.
