academia

As a grad-student, my studies were centered in Typography, Motion Design, Visual Narrative, HCI, Design Psychology & Audiences, Pattern Learning, Societal Impacts of Design, and User Experience. My life-long interest in architecture led to the study of theoretic wayfinding, paths and nodes interaction, and temporal experience design. This evolved into my thesis study investigating The Spatial Navigation of Digital Information Environments.
