Teaching
I currently teach Information Design students at Mount Royal University. For details about the courses I'm actively engaged in, this is the page!
I also supervise students in the BComm Honours Program.
If you are a student of mine, check D2L for course details and content.
If you are interested in working with me on a project in the future as a research assistant or as an honours student, please reach out via email or schedule a time in my calendar.

Fall 2025
Info 1600 - Information Design: Past, Present, and Future
​
​This course provides an introduction to information design through: (1) a historical context to the field within the broader Design discipline; (2) an overview of what it means to design and to be a designer; and (3) what have been, are, and perhaps will be the impacts of design(ing) on societies, cultures, communities, and the environment. Through lectures, discussions, readings, case studies, assignments, and activities, students gain a foundational understanding of the many roles information and its design have played in the world, while considering information design’s increasing potential to become a positive agent of change.
