Teaching

This section provides an overview of courses I am teaching and selected student work.

It is important to me to get to know our students soon after they enter our program in skill building courses such as Sketching (IND204) or Digital Surface (IND376). When possible, I like to combine teaching courses in the 2nd or 3rd year with studio courses in the 4th or 5th year. It is rewarding to support the students development when tackling complex problems at junior or senior level.
