Past president of local chapter of AIGA Baltimore an organization whose mission is to promote and support the value of design.

Instructed a class of students in graphic design with a focus on use of Adobe Illustrator (2009) and use of Adobe InDesign (2011). Both classes were taught with a focus on use of the entire publishing end of Adobe Creative Suite meaning other programs, such as PhotoShop and processes, such as a basic understanding of the print/web process were incorporated.

Flex instructors are regularly brought in to help students develop a taste for the varied processes that go into professional design practices. I shared a project with students in which they works on a project whose goal was to develop a competitive strategy and branding that would position Seattle's Best Coffee into the Baltimore marketplace using varied media elements within their choosing, but supported by reasonable rationale that could be carried through a campaign. The project was derived from one that I had been assigned.

Freelance. Assumed position as interim advertising manager in a department responsible for two in-house designers and numerous critical B-to-B functions supporting an in-house marketing department. Worked with those designers to coordinate workflow and assist them in the direction of efficient completion of work as well as advice and direction creatively.
