I am an author, designer, and full Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) where I teach a variety of graduate level courses in interaction design and development for applied computer graphics, 2D and 3D animation, and motion graphics. My professional work has received over 25 distinguished national and international awards for online communication. I have been a featured speaker at Adobe MAX since 2008. My published books have been translated into foreign languages, featured in Animation Magazine, and cited in Adobe's user manuals as a good resource for learning about After Effects. I continue to be an animator, designer, developer, and consultant for worldwide corporations and nonprofit organizations. I lecture and conduct workshops relating to interaction design and motion graphics.
