About Me
I LIVE GRAPHIC DESIGN AND ART. I love to teach. Teaching gives me the gift of maintaining a thriving practice as a wholly integrated creative professional: working with students helps me learn, supporting them in their studies keeps me grounded in my own. Since I started teaching I can hear words: concept, idea, contrast, balance and many others that I constantly repeat to my students in my head while I am working on my own professional work and I can see that my work gets better and better. It is a gift.
