Teaching
Graphic design · UI/UX · Motion · Interactive systems
I teach graphic design, UI/UX, motion, and interactive systems at Jacksonville State University, at undergraduate and graduate level.
Courses are built around open-ended problems so students learn to work without a predefined solution. Process documentation is a graded outcome. That means research, sketching, iteration, critique, and reflection all carry marks. AI, AR, and interactive systems are taught as working tools for ideation.
