They say my love for words and visuals is infectious.

Having now taught for the past 16 years at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, I'm grateful every day for the chance to make a difference by helping students discover the principles, strategies, techniques and tools they need to spread powerful ideas and tell stories that matter. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like me to help train your team in design, visual communication or writing. I'm always keen to spread love and respect for the beauty and power of writing and design.

SAMPLE TOPICS: graphic design principles, publication design, typographic design, working with color, working with photography, working with type, journalistic writing and editing, copy writing

STUDENT WORK

The beauty of my job is that I get to come alongside young designers not only to inform them but to challenge and push them into their potential. In the process, they create smart, thoughtful, charming solutions to assignments strategically designed to test and stretch their design thinking and skills.
