Over the years, my personal explorations have included blogging, digital art, photography, printmaking, ceramics, children\u2019s doodles, and more. Most recently, I launched Quantrian<\/a>: algorithmically-generated modern abstract art, now available as NFTs and prints.<\/p>

As a college professor, I have taught graphic design, web design, programming, UX, and more to undergraduate students in the Digital Technology and Culture<\/a> (DTC) Department at Washington State University<\/a>. I’ve also included some of the positive feedback<\/a> submitted anonymously by my students. I also spearheaded the DTC Expert Series<\/a> with an array of industry experts, and launched open source projects (such as Debuggr<\/a>, shown in Digital & Interactive) to assist with coding classes.<\/p>

Finally, I play improv piano and write music, but usually only for friends and family. You can listen to the slow improvised blues track from my old portfolio on Soundcloud<\/a>. Currently, an example of original music is the atmospheric techno track of the Sea Jellies video<\/a>, although I also scored and edited the music for many of EngenderHealth\u2019s videos (such as Every Minute Counts<\/a> and All For Good<\/a>).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the years, my personal explorations have included blogging, digital art, photography, printmaking, ceramics, children\u2019s doodles, and more.
