I am a Tenured, Associate Professor of Design, and Founding Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Quincy University, a freelance Creative, and Technology Consultant. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Cleveland State University and my Master of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communication Design from Kent State University.

As a visual communicator, I employ the use of design as a tool for solving problems. I manage a balance of analytical and creative skill sets. I enjoy critiquing and lecturing design, promoting its value, and championing the culture. I stress the importance of creative problem-solving and the design field’s ability to be a differentiator in a variety of settings—design can do almost anything.

I’m an observer and fanatic of things that strike a balance between useful, beautiful, and clever. I can’t help but be hyper-aware of the small details.

I focus on clarity and communication. I’m intrigued by misunderstandings and look for solutions. I make connections and ask questions about how things work, how they are made, what they look/feel like, what they mean, why they exist, and how they can be better.

The spirit of a lifelong learner and an insatiable curiosity are at the core of who I am and what I do.
