Structure
Assignments are built as clear sequences, from prompt, research, draft, critique, revision, and reflection.
Teaching
Across my courses, I emphasize structure, experimentation, critique, and revision. Students learn to connect concept, audience, craft, and design software, then turn those decisions into work that can tell a compelling story.
Teaching method
Experimentation
Students are pushed to take risks by playing with materials, tools, image systems, etc., before locking in a final direction.
Critique
Feedback is treated as a working method, rather than a final judgment. The goal is to think in new ways, crafting sharper decisions and clearer intent.
Revision
Students return to their work after critique, continuing to refine their concept, craft, hierarchy, and visual story for the targeted audience.
Coursework examples
Five routes into the classroom work.
Select a coursework area to see assignment context, student outcomes, process notes, and the teaching methods behind the work.
Fundamentals
Foundational courses establish hierarchy, composition, visual decision-making, craft, and a repeatable process students can carry into later work.
Here we practice visual principles, process documentation, critique habits, and revisions.

Typography
Typography courses focus on hierarchy, pacing, structure, sequence, and the way type can carry voice, information, and tone.
Here we practice type systems, publication logic, layout studies, and text as meaning formation.

User Interface
Interface work connects visual systems to users, flows, screen states, prototyping, and the responsible use of emerging digital tools.
Here we practice wireframing, interface systems, user flow logic, research, and polished prototype creation.

Branding
Branding courses ask students to connect research, audience, voice, form, and systems so identity work can move beyond a single mark.
Here we practice visual identities, campaign systems, applied assets, and audience outreach via social media.

Photography
Photography courses foreground observation, place, sequencing, atmosphere, technical control, and the relationship between image and meaning.
Here we practice creating interconnected series, storytelling, critique, and photography as a "language."
