Inspiration for teaching:
"Some of the most gratifying times in my professional career have come from helping to cultivate young artist and designers in a real world production environment and watching them come into their own and flourish. It is truly remarkable to watch them rise to an occasion and significantly contribute to a project. Knowing that I was in any way a part of their journey is incredibly rewarding. Teaching at SCAD serves to enhance that privilege."
