My Teaching Philosophy My approach to teaching graphic design and digital media is rooted in real-world application, creative accountability, and cross-disciplinary awareness. With over 15 years of industry experience and six years teaching at the high school level, I understand that students thrive when they’re challenged to apply design thinking to meaningful problems and are given the tools and structure to produce professional-quality work. I create project-based learning environments that mirror creative production workflows, helping students develop not just technical skills but also confidence, communication, and attention to detail. I believe strong technical skills free students to express meaningful content. I teach visual design as a discipline that blends intuition and analysis, where students learn to defend their design decisions and critique others with clarity and respect. My courses emphasize typographic hierarchy, accessible design principles, and fluent use of industry-standard tools like Adobe Creative Suite. Whether teaching motion graphics, branding, or UX/UI, I center my instruction around building relevant portfolios that support both academic advancement and career readiness.
