What do you love about design?
I love design for it’s immeasurable impact in the world. It is visual communication that changes the way we live and touches everything we see and do. I love design for it’s challenges—design is problem solving, collaborative, thought provoking and ultimately beautiful.

I teach design because not only is it tremendously rewarding to help another person discover their own passions and talents, it is inspiring and invigorating for my own design skills to guide design problem solving through 40 other sets of eyes!
