Teaching. Guiding. Empowering.
At Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), I have had the privilege of mentoring and teaching the next generation of designers. My goal is to create a supportive, challenging, and inspiring environment where students grow not just as designers, but as confident problem solvers.

A teaching philosophy built around the student in front of me.
Three things shape how I show up in the classroom — and they're the same three things I look for in any good design culture.
Student-centered
I start with each student's individual strengths and goals — the curriculum bends to fit, not the other way around.
Real-world focused
Projects are grounded in real industry constraints — the kind of brief that has tradeoffs, deadlines, and a real audience.
Feedback-driven
Specific, generous, honest critique — the kind that gives students something to act on and a way to defend their choices.
Her class is one of my favorites. She expands your understanding of UX by showing how it applies beyond just digital spaces. In UX 360, class begins with a lecture, moves into a breakout activity, and ends with a work session — making it easy to understand the concepts and immediately apply them to your projects. She also gives detailed, thoughtful feedback when grading.

Student imprints.
At the end of each quarter, students create digital handprints — small artifacts that represent their identity, growth, and design perspective developed through the course. Click any imprint to see it up close.
