I teach Graphic Arts, Film Studies, and International Baccalaureate Visual Arts at Amundsen High School, a wall-to-wall MYP school in Chicago. My courses emphasize creative problem-solving and media literacy, with a strong foundation in graphic design, digital illustration, and Photoshop. Students learn to move seamlessly from traditional art skills to professional-level digital tools, preparing them to communicate ideas visually and effectively.
Interdisciplinary connections are central to my teaching, with projects that integrate concepts from civics, biology, and other subject areas. Whether analyzing films, creating original media, or designing visual campaigns, students develop the technical skills and global perspectives to thrive in a connected world.
