Description

I'm a designer and illustrator by profession and in spirit. While I've worked in other industries outside of design, I never left my passion for drawing and design behind and eventually returned, full-time, to design 8 years ago. My life goals include continuing my education (in the traditional and non-traditional sense) in the areas of new media and illustration, a mentor, and at service for others. For the past two years, I've been an instructor at Andrew University - in the field of Multimedia and Design. My primary focus in Web Design, but also teach Adobe Illustrator, Introduction to Drawing, and advanced topics classes - these have included: digital drawing and advanced web topics.I've always enjoyed being a mentor to younger kids - I've been a volunteer High School Basketball coach, guitar teacher, personal trainer for autistic youth, and taught art classes for Junior High and High School kids - and hope to continue this for the rest of my life by continuing my career as a Univeristy Professor. I'm attempting to develop the area of my program to be more accessible to online learning and develop the web design tract of our Graphic Design degree to be one of the best in the nation. Finally, I wish to improve upon my knowledge and critical thinking abilities by completing my Masters Degree in New Media in the near future.
