I am full-time faculty in the Visual Media Design (VMD) department at CCSF. I have taught in VMD for many years and worked as a graphic designer both freelance and on staff. I love teaching both beginning and advanced students and watching them develop their design skills, make friends, and embark on a new journey.
One of my passions in the department is advising. I'm happy to talk about your goals and help you reach them as efficiently as possible. Feel free to email me anytime!
