I believe that the classroom should be treated as a vibrant, thriving community, where discussion, experimentation and education intersect. As design professionals and artists in our respective crafts, teaching is as much about exploring various design mediums as it is about application and circumstance. Teaching should reflect on the historical significance of various topics and design movements, providing context while also exploring relevance, economics, culture, inclusion and business.

The best part about teaching at Kean University is the tremendous amount of new technologies and innovative design strategies my students implement in their own work, reinforcing their understanding of design insights, strategy and theory.
