My professional design experience is extensive, including corporate, consultant, freelance, entrepreneurial, and academic positions. I have a BFA in Industrial Design from the University of Notre Dame and a MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My graduates have worked at Disney, Whirlpool, Radio Flyer, Apple, Vera Bradley, Southwest Airlines, Amazon, Bark Box, Bell Flight, Stryker, Hasbro, Ford, GM, Stellantis, Melissa & Doug, Wolf & Shepherd, Newell, etc. I taught industrial design at the University of Notre Dame for 6 years before becoming the Founding Director of the Richmond Institute for Design + Innovation at Western Michigan University. I am an approachable and enthusiastic educator who gets the most of students by leveraging the strengths in their verbal, visual, and written communication skills. I also have over a decade of experience mentoring college students how to put together portfolios, resumes, and cover letters for internships and employment in today’s competitive job market. I assist high school students with art and design portfolio development for scholarship and college admission applications.
