B.F.A. in Illustration / University of Wisconsin–Stout
I developed the B.F.A. in Illustration at the University of Wisconsin–Stout, which launched in the 2024–2025 academic year. With coursework shared from both the Department of Visual & Performing Arts and the Department of Design, the program is uniquely interdisciplinary. Within the program, I primarily teach DES-323 Digital Illustration, which is also a popular elective among Graphic Design and Animation majors.
