Teaching experience
I am a Graphic design educator with more than a decade of university teaching experience specializing in branding, typography, motion graphics, and interactive design. My teaching emphasizes concept-driven problem solving, contemporary design tools, and collaborative critique environments that prepare students for professional creative practice. I have extensive experience teaching across face-to-face, hybrid, and online modalities and hold certification in scaffolded online teaching practices.
Creative Research
I am a multidisciplinary designer, artist, and creative whose work bridges the worlds of art, technology, and social engagement. With a background in integrated visual arts and digital media, my work spans graphic design, motion graphics, large-scale installations, data-driven research, and art as action. Through interdisciplinary design, I explore how creative technologies can connect communities, challenge perceived boundaries, and encourage new ways of seeing our shared human experience.
