Teaching Philosophy

Projects rigorously support the importance of inspirationally based solutions, that are motivated by research and, more importantly, life’s observations. I teach with the real world in mind incorporating interdepartmental collaboration on selected projects. This message serves as a significant step in a student’s early preparation for the field of Graphic Design.
