In Their Own Words

"My ultimate goal is for my students to come away from my classes with the ability to think creatively and strategically about design problems, and to be able to communicate their ideas effectively to a wide range of audiences. I also want them to be able to think about design in a broader sense and understand how it relates to other disciplines such as art, science, and technology. Furthermore, I want them to understand the ethical considerations that are inherent to the design process and the responsibilities that come with creating design solutions."

"As an electronic music artist, my professional background in music production and performance allows me to provide my students with a strong understanding of the technical aspects of creating electronic music, as well as the creative process behind it. I can also provide hands-on demonstrations and real-world examples from my own experiences in the industry."

"As a visual creator, I can offer my students a strong understanding of visual arts and design principles and techniques, as well as the tools and software used in the industry. I can also provide examples and critiques of my own work and the work of other professionals to help my students understand the creative process and how to develop their own visual style."

"As a professor, I bring my experience in the field of teaching and my knowledge of the subject matter to the classroom. I am able to provide clear explanations and practical examples to help students understand the material and its application in the real world. I can also use my experience to create engaging and interactive learning experiences that keep students interested and motivated."
