In Their Own Words

"I'd like to give my students a love of hearing and playing with sounds."

"My assignments are designed around specific challenges and solutions I've faced over my years as a sound designer. Often I will share projects that are currently being worked on, to give real-world examples related to specific assignments. I also stress the importance of certain aspects of success that have nothing to do with artistic skills: especially timeliness and having a good demeanor."
