A student could become the master….

Hello, I’m Brandon. After almost a decade of working in the design world, I’ve developed an interest in returning to academia as a teacher. On a professional level, I seek to connect with, learn from and share ideas with educators and students as a way to further my career and explore the emergent nature of my field. On a personal level, my positive experiences with faculty members while I was a student and my knack for instruction make teaching a no brainer. I’m looking for opportunities this Summer and am available to teach existing courses or develop new curriculum.
