![[ART-03.jpg]] ## Teaching, Workshops & Mentorship My teaching practice focuses on the intersection of technology, media and the built environment. Through university courses, professional training and one-on-one mentorship, I help students, artists and creative professionals develop both conceptual frameworks and practical technical skills. My areas of instruction include interactive systems, responsive environments, sound, video, projection mapping and real-time media technologies. ### **University of Calgary, School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape** #### **Responsive Media and Interactive Environments (2025)** Developed and taught a week-long intensive exploring responsive media as a material for architectural and spatial design. Topics included: - Systems thinking and interaction design - Responsive environments and architectural behavior - Sound, light, video and kinetic media - Sensor systems and environmental data - Real-time prototyping with TouchDesigner - Public installation and exhibition design Students developed interactive projects that connected human presence, environmental conditions and architectural space, culminating in a public exhibition of their work. #### **ARCH 680.07 – Digital Systems and Responsive Environment Design (2020)** - Explored the role of digital systems in shaping human interaction within the built environment. - Introduced projection mapping, augmented reality and responsive media systems. - Provided hands-on instruction in TouchDesigner for interactive and spatial design applications. ### **National Theatre School of Canada, Montreal** **Faculty and Guest Instructor (2013-2016, 2024, 2025)** Courses taught: - Advanced Video Technology and Interaction Design - QLab Fundamentals - Mix and Mics - Sound Technology In addition to classroom instruction, I coached senior students during their final productions, providing technical and creative mentorship in sound design, programming and production technologies. ### Workshops and Intensives Since 2014, I have led workshops and intensive training programs for artists, designers and creative professionals in areas including: - Projection Mapping - Interactive Media - Sound Design and Technology - TouchDesigner - QLab - Max/MSP - Media Systems and Creative Technology ### Mentorship and Consulting Alongside formal teaching, I provide mentorship and project consultation for artists, students and organizations working with digital media and interactive technologies. This work ranges from technical problem-solving and software development to creative direction, system design and installation planning.
