I began teaching Game Design Classes in 2013 as a way to help students see coding as a creative act. Since then my classes have included more design focused projects including App Design, Wearable Tech, VR Development and a Design Thinking Studio where students create designs for clients to be printed in chocolate. My main focus currently is on how to use good design protocols to make education engaging, enjoyable and ongoing.
