I like to tell stories.

Story telling, teaching and lecturing are an essential part of who I am as a designer and a critical part of my creative process. The subject matter of my presentations can vary from Web design to the New York Mets, but the passion for the art of engaging an audience is the same.

“It is not just your knowledge of the subject that makes you special, but it is your uncanny ability to interact and converse with students of all ages in order to get your message heard.”
SASD Student, Fall ’10

Online classes (coming soon)

I’m working on a series of online classes based on the content of Above the Fold. The interactive classes, powered by LiveMind, will feature information and instruction on topics like information architecture, site planning, anatomy of a Web page, SEO, WordPress and site analysis. The first class is expected to take place early August.
