## 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.
