Bio / Resume

I have 20 years of experience in working in education and 25 years experience in design and media. I am a freelance designer, trainer and teacher working in Toronto area colleges.

I am an expert with Adobe Creative Cloud and know my way around Office. I’m passionate about e-learning and I have experience working with LMS platforms like Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, and HP5.

I developed my first website, Tdot.com, in 1998. I started teaching in 2002. For the last two decades I have been building websites and blogs with WordPress, engaging in graphic design and photography, and working with motion graphics, video and music.
