I am a Graphic Design Educator and Creative Professional with over nineteen years of experience in education with more than fourteen of those years specializing in Graphic Design, Commercial Photography, and Visual Communication. I currently serve as an Adjunct Online Graphic Design Professor at Dallas College while also teaching Advanced Graphic Design and Photography courses at the secondary level.

My TEACHING PHILOSOPHY centers on combining design thinking, technical skill development, and real-world application to prepare students for both collegiate study and creative careers. Through project-based learning, critiques, portfolio development, and industry-informed instruction, I strive to help students build confidence, find their creative voice, and establish professional readiness.

​

Throughout my career, I have contributed to curriculum development in multi-level Graphic Design and Commercial Photography courses across multiple school districts as well as on the collegiate level. My classroom experience spans both in-person and online learning environments, with a strong emphasis on Adobe Creative Suite workflows, authentic design experiences, and student-centered instruction.

​

Student achievement and mentorship remain central to my work. I have guided students in developing professional portfolios, participating in authentic design experiences, and engaging in student-led creative enterprises that simulate real-world creative environments. As a Business Professionals of America (BPA) Advisor, I mentor students in competitive design and presentation events, with recent accomplishments including a National 1st Place finish in the Visual Design Team competition, reflecting a strong emphasis on collaboration, creative problem-solving, and industry-level design preparation.

​

In addition to teaching, I am the Creative Director and Owner of Sincerely Posh, a luxury stationery and branding studio specializing in custom and semi-custom stationery design. Through my professional practice, I continue to work in branding, typography, print production, and visual storytelling while helping clients bring meaningful moments and experiences to life through intentional design. My previous professional experience includes work with organizations such as Fab Dallas Magazine, AT&T, and Aramark, where I developed communication-focused design solutions across editorial, branding, and print media.
