TEACHING

I am currently an Adjunct Professor at St. John’s University,
where I develop and teach Graphic Design courses. 
 

Keeping abreast of modern industry standards is critical for my design career and equally important in my teaching practice.
In my classes, I strive to create the most relevant and up-to-date learning environment. To this end, I recently developed both a comprehensive Fundamentals of Graphic Design course and a Publication Graphics curriculum, which introduce students to contemporary digital design approaches for interactive and multimedia content.
