As an educator I have been involved in teaching about game design, virtual reality, and art for social change at the college level. I also run game design workshops for kids and adults. These have been hosted by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History as well as an academic games conference. At Santa Cruz I was teaching assistant for Robin Hunicke, creator of Journey and other games.

My teaching philosophy is focused on iterative design, hands-on making and playing in class, and responsiveness to students individual interests and development.

Most recently I taught my own class, Introduction to Game Design & Development, at Rhode Island School of Design. Here are some photos of my class:
