I'm an Associate Professor of Interactive Design at Kennesaw State University. I created the program and led it from 2016 - 2024. I teach classes along the contemporary design value chain: user research, synthesizing research, defining requirements, wireframing, prototyping, & professional development.

I write about design education and my dissertation focused on the concept of control as it related to how television companies designed experiences with audiences on digital platforms in the 2000s.

Some things I'm into: checks & balances, systems thinking, artichokes, being an out-of-touch musical omnivore, Finland, modern art (to a point), NBA basketball (the 2003-2004 Pistons, 2013-2014 Spurs, and 2014-2015 Hawks are personal favs), the NY Mets, owning less, composting, running, ceaselessly learning and forgetting Spanish, and space ice cream.
