Teaching Interests & Areas

I've taught a wide range of courses in the Creative Technologies realm, at Illinois State as well as Bradley University and Heartland Community College. These include graphic design, video, animation, audio, web design, programming, game design, and more. Always enjoy learning about new technologies and consider myself flexible and adaptable in this area.

Research Interests & Areas

Interactivity, generative and procedural media, installations, and game design/development. While I appreciate and have created composed media of many kinds, I'm most intrigued by what's possible through interactivity and generative designs...there's a feeling of "controlled chaos" that comes from creating the underlying code which fascinates me.
