I teach in the Media + Design program at Tulane University’s School of Professional Advancement and previously taught in the School of Visual Art & Design at the University of South Carolina. My teaching emphasizes practical design skills, critical thinking, and professional preparedness. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my student’s confidence grow and the creative work they produce!
Curriculum and Course Development
Beyond the classroom, I collaborate on curriculum development, by improving existing courses and building new elective courses to meet the evolving demands of the design field. I also serve on the Media + Design curriculum committee, helping shape the program’s direction.
