A stripper, platemaker, designer, UX dude, project manager, you name it, I have dabbled in it over the last 28 years or so. I have even flipped pizzas for a living. The common thread has been my love of the work. I have been designing things since I was a young boy.

Product Design & Development Skills
This work represents some of my work over the years.
Extra Curricular Work
The designer as a teacher must understand where we have been in the Graphic Design history, not just what is trendy or hip at any specific time. It is difficult to imagine what lay ahead for the designer/artist, but I saw the world change dramatically just barely five years after I started to studying design in the late 1980s. Students have to learn flexibility that allows them to develop their practice and be lifelong learners.
“He who is and remains a student himself is justified to teach students.” Josef Albers: To Open Eyes, 1952
