I am a graphic designer/educator living in Kansas City, MO. Currently, the Program Coordinator and Visiting Graphic Designer Lecturer at Park University. Previous positions include: Subject Matter Expert at Southern New Hampshire University and Senior Graphic Designer at Hallmark Creative/Visual Merchandising. Taught graphic design for 10 years at The renowned art school: Savannah College of Art and Design. Interested in typographic experiments, new media design, web animation, and curriculum development. Also taught at Kansas City Art Institute and Johnson County Community College. Online instructor of design at the University of Maryland.

I am always eager to start a new project, but the ‘process’ remains the artery of the visual message.
I am an enthusiastic and ‘committed designer/educator’ with an eye for detail and a hard-working attitude.
