About me
Creative Thinker. Maker. Lifelong Learner.
Welcome
— I’m Kevin
A Creative Life, Rooted in Curiosity
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by a family of artists, creativity was an integral part of my daily life. This environment fostered my passion for visual storytelling and hands-on creation, from block prints to building cedar-strip kayaks. These experiences have profoundly influenced my approach to teaching, where I aim to inspire students to explore and express their creativity.
Educator by Calling
Currently pursuing a Master’s in Education with K–12 licensure, I bring a designer’s mindset (being adaptive, reflective, and always improving) into the classroom.
I want to help students find/tap in to their own creative voice, think visually, and navigate challenges with a spirit of experimentation.
Exploring various forms of creativity, my teaching emphasizes ideation, process, and confidence in one’s unique perspective.

My Core Values:
Beyond the Studio
When I’m not drawing, designing, or teaching, you’ll likely find me paddling a kayak I built myself, getting lost in a good book (or a few), or building and sculpting in the shop. I stay curious and committed to creative problem-solving in all its forms.
