Q: What made you want to teach design? Was there a particular experience during school that influenced you to become a design educator?

A: I think the whole experience of school contributed to me wanting to teach. I loved school. I loved learning. I still do. I think all of my instructors had a lasting impact on me and helped to instill a curiosity. They helped change how I looked at the world. Everything is magic now, and even things that aren’t special now have the potential to become so. They helped to teach me a way of looking at things that leaves room for unlimited potential. That seems special, some how, and if I can maybe help to have that happen for someone else, I should try.
