My journey from photography, to social work, to interior design, has shaped who I am as a person and a teacher. It is my belief that the design process is a powerful tool that can change how we live. I enjoy guiding students on their path to becoming inspired, innovative designers with an eye towards making the world a better place. It is an honor to be able to provide students with design opportunities both large and small. Students have not only come up with solutions for the built environment, but also products and processes that improve the quality of people's lives.
I believe in providing opportunities for students to develop the design thinking skills that help them see the world with a fresh eye and to become bold, brave, and innovative human-centered designers.
