My motivation is based on the merger of professional work experiences and a student focused philosophy, to guide makers towards their own successful professional practices in a creative field.

Computer Art and Design education is intended to develop skills and techniques to better prepare an individual for a creative career. More importantly, attaining an education is to help an individual grow and develop into a respectful and responsible member of society. Teaching content is an essential part of being an educator. Guiding students to develop their character as a professional is what makes the job worth the effort. My goal as a faculty member is to create a positive learning environment that helps promote student success inside the classroom and out.
