Teaching
Overview
I have taught courses in animation, design, and creative research, at a range of research universities and art schools in the US, China, and Mexico. I currently teach at Princeton University and the School of Visual Arts and have taught at Harvard University, NYU (in their Brooklyn and Shanghai campuses), and Tec de Monterrey (in their Querétaro campus).
Some featured classes and projects are listed below, along with a full course list and links to student work, where applicable.
