As a CCSF faculty member since 1989,
I have developed and taught many of the graphic design, typography and production art courses in the department. My professional graphic design experience includes many years of in-house and freelance work for a diverse group of clients. I keep in touch with the Bay Area design community through membership in the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and serve as the faculty advisor to the CCSF AIGA Student Group.

I have a B.A. in Industrial Arts from San Francisco State University.

I can't imagine being anything but a teacher—I love it! In all my classes, I strive to help students develop creativity, critical thinking, communications abilities and the technical skills needed for success in the workplace. By exposing students to a broad range of historical and contemporary design work, I hope to assist them in finding their own interests and passions. I believe that students need to be curious, open to new ideas and willing to embrace learning as an ongoing pursuit to succeed—not just as designers, but as contributing members of society.

Besides design, I'm interested in cooking, the pleasures of the table, slow food, various arts/crafts and travel to just about anywhere.
