Biography and Expertise
With a primary focus in the area of print design, I teach courses that cover topics ranging from fundamental design concepts to typography, branding, print production and portfolio development.
As an educator, my primary aim is to facilitate her students’ development in visual communications, from critical thinking and concept development to technological proficiency. My mission is to help students become design professionals who never untangle principles and practice. My passion is encouraging students to reach their full potential while giving them the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to excel among the complex web of expectations in the design industry today.
As a freelance designer, I combine a keen business sense with results-driven creative, taking the time to understand the unique challenges of clients and work collaboratively with them to develop strategic and customized design solutions.
