I
never thought of becoming a teacher, but as I left the first class I ever
taught while a graduate student, I knew I was hooked. There is such joy
to be derived from working with young people. I have learned as much from
them as they from me.
I delight in watching my students discover their potential.
The design world is so incredibly varied and exciting that it allows them
many unique and individual choices.
