- Multi-disciplinary design program with a strong grounding in design principals, tools, processes and materials. Emphasis on conceptual problem solving and visual literacy. Core course work included drawing, color-theory, 3D form, and design history. Advanced coursework included communication design, industrial design, ceramics, fiber arts, photography, video, book structures, computer graphics, interactive media and comprehensive design history that explored the role of design in our culture from the earliest times to the present.
- To support myself through school I taught at an art camp, a weekend Chinese school and also privately in small groups and one-on-one. I also worked as a photographer, typographer, paste-up artist and designer for a design studio, an advertising agency and small businesses in the LA area.
- Throughout my career I have continued to enhance my learning by taking classes in art, design and technology at the School of Visual Arts, Parsons, Center for Books Arts, the American Film Institute and UCLA Extension.
