Bio

I am an adjunct educator at Citytech’s Communication Design Department. My background in graphic design and critical theory provides a milieu for exploring the role of culture on design and design on culture. In my professional practice, the intersection of critical and creative insights results in context playing a key role.

I currently serves on the AIGAā€™s Design Educatorā€™s Committee (DEC) Steering Committee, am a co-director of Tipo, Cibo, Vino, a letterpress workshop in Cornuda Italy, and am an active member of several design organizations.
