In addition to an MFA in Graphic Design from Kent State University and a BFA from the University of Akron, her background includes experience as an art teacher in public schools and as a professional designer. She is currently developing the student studio environment to include a holistic and progressive approach to design problem-solving. Rather than adhering to a purely client-based response ethic, the evolving model of the 37 year-old Glyphix studio strives to enable students to become better design thinkers. Practical application of design training is combined with client interaction, a sense of responsibility to the community and collaborations within the University and the public arena.
