I built an online MFA course covering vector art and interactive/enhanced illustration. Students are taught Adobe Illustrator and Flash with the goal of incorporating animation and interactivity into their digital illustrations.I authored the class in its entirety, producing text, assignments, project files, example art work, and instructional videos.

I developed and taught "Interactive Illustration"​ for the Graduate School of Illustration. My class was an introduction to vector illustration, light animation, and interactivity through Adobe Illustrator and Flash.I also taught the undergraduate "Interactive Illustration"​ class which teaches students to create interactive story books through Adobe Flash.

I specialize in vector illustration for interactivity. I consult with clients and create effective solutions for their visual communication needs. I work in a very transparent process-driven manner that allows clients to oversee their project's development at every major juncture in the creative process.
