ABOUT ME

I believe my philosophy of living complements my philosophy of teaching. I transmit enthusiasm, rigor, knowledge, fortitude, and sincerity. I excite, engage, educate, collaborate with and motivate my students.
 

As a 3D artist and instructor, I introduce students to a canon of animated and game works, not only to examine the beauty and entertainment value, but also to analyze its film language and impact to our culture. I seek to balance my courses between lecturing students, hands-on exercises, and asking them to make discoveries. By presenting this, I teach independent critical listening and thinking.
