My Students

"Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries." Neville Brody

To put it simply, my students are extraordinary.

They come from all over the city to attend one of the best high schools in the state. I teach AP Design and Honors Digital Photography to hardworking, truly inspirational students. Their creativity and drive amazes me every day.

My Project

A couple years ago we received an amazing button machine through DonorsChoose.org. To say we used it often would be an understatement! We made THOUSANDS of buttons and needless to say, we are in need of a new button machine. This button machine will be used for many things. My students will be able print their artwork and wear them as a button as well as create designs to sell and fundraise.

I want to do everything I can to provide my students with the best possible education, but I need your help to do so.

By contributing to this project, you will be providing exactly that for my students!
