Schedule for my next quarter:

Concepts in Motion Design
An introduction to motion design, concepts and techniques. Students create interactive motion using basic principles of design for timeline-based media.

Inter. Authoring
This course will build on the skills taught in the Introduction to Authoring class. Students will design production-quality interactive presentations using intermediate-level scripting techniques focusing on good user interface design and usability.

Graphic Symbolism
This course examines the simplification
and abstraction of images. Logotypes and symbols are examined in historic and contemporary contexts.

Audio for Interactive Design
This course looks at the principles and practices of digital audio in an interactive design setting. Students learn to use current digital audio programs for recording, editing, sequencing, and mixing for a variety of outputs and applications.

On My Own

My best friend Claudia writes stories about her dog Sandy. I am putting them together and creating illustrations for the pages. I hope to have this finished and made into a book for her for Mother's Day. She has always been like a second Mom to my daughter Micaela.



Winter 2011

“It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear.” - Terence

Due to family issues I did not post anything for the winter quarter. Just keeping my head above water was all I could manage! Time to bring happiness, harmony and joy back into my family!

Happiness is yours if you are willing to work for it. You must strive for balance and harmony in your life. Always look for solutions rather than dwell on problems. For happiness to last, it must be founded on truth and honesty. Hide from the truth and you hide from true happiness. Seek only what is good and right, and good fortune cannot fail to follow.


“Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them. Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them. Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him. Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.” -Pamela Glenconner
