I am a registered Art Therapist who studied at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007 and worked as an art therapist for several years. Completely self-taught and motivated by the need to support my growing family in one of the most expensive areas in the world, I transitioned into a career in design and educational technology.
My blog has been more or less regularly updated since 2007. Check out back-posts to see my story unfold and how I made my professional shifts.
While I’m mostly blogging about educational technology, I still love art therapy and deeply believe in the creative process to facilitate healing and learning.
I always like to hear from my readers! Please feel free to comment or fill out the contact form to get in touch.
