About

I am a Product Designer and Educator #

My mission is to help kids and adults discover their creative abilities so that they can become forces for positive change in their communities. I have worked for more than ten years designing award-winning products and teaching product design in universities and international design schools before discovering my passion for creativity and technology education. Today, when I am not studying innovation or the latest technology tools, I serve as a Technical Arts teacher at Santa Catalina School in Monterey, California.
