Education

(not for credit) General Continuing EducationOnline Learning Platforms2010 - 2024I have used video training courses in all areas of design, as well as software, business, finance, and new technology. I am a life-long learner, and watch new courses frequently to broaden my technical skills, and also review old courses to maintain fluency in industry-standard software.

(not for credit) Independent Study in PsychologyOnline Learning Platforms2010 - 2012After completing my degrees at RIT, I continued my academic training through free online courses posted by professors from various top universities. Most often, these recordings were of full-semester live courses in university classrooms. They were as beneficial to me as any lecture course taken in person, and have helped synthesize my knowledge of design. Core topics learned were : Visual Perception & Gestalt; Memory, Learning & Attention; Basic Cognitive Processes; Creativity & Innovation; Academic Research Methods.
