Personal Statement

I am continually inspired by art and design in all forms. I have been fortunate enough to have studied several disciplines, and I believe that this is an asset in instructing multi disciplinary classes. Experimentation is necessary in in color theory. It allows students to push the boundaries of their comfort zone, and to truly embrace the design process.
