Profile
Teaching Approach
My job is to equip students with the best knowledge, tools, and savvy that I can possibly give them. My teaching strategy is simple: to structure generous, low-risk learning environments where creativity is a given, play is encouraged, critical thinking is enhanced, collaborative problem solving is fundamental, and technical wizardry occurs "by accident." My ultimate goal is to convert the community-based classroom into a pliable "practice space" that runs on unlimited raw locally squeezed organic juice (aka artists, designers, makers). Technical things that I teach and learn include: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere, Audacity, Max, Live, Cinema 4D, Unity, Processing, and Javascript. I'm also decent with power tools.
Art Approach
My multimedia art projects reflect technocultural critique on one hand and creative tinkering and risk taking on the other. My work has been shown in a variety of exhibition spaces, museums, public/commercial sites, and publications. I have received numerous grants and awards in the fields of art, computer graphics, and education.
