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 AIGA’s Design Educator’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.

This site serves as a primary hub of information and resources for participants of the City Tech Living Lab General Education Seminar beginning in Spring 2019. General Education is a critical component of City Tech’s curriculum. This seminar provides support and training to full-time and part-time faculty seeking to enhance their integration of Gen Ed learning objectives into their assignments and courses. This site has compiled links to many of the Gen Ed seminar sites from previous years to serve as an archive and historical overview of the seminar.
