Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a dynamic online learning environment where aspiring graphic and web designers develop both technical proficiency and a strong understanding of user-centered design principles. I believe that design should be accessible, empowering, and available to everyone. My ultimate goal is to help my students to become technically skilled and accessible-minded graphic and web designers who can make a positive impact on the world through their creative work.
