Principal Investigator, Comm Tech Lab
Associate Professor, School of Journalism

I have been designing experiences with the Comm Tech Lab (CTL) since the early 1990s. Much of my work has dealt with the creation of patient information software using the "personal stories" model first developed in the CTL with the Breast Cancer Lighthouse project. In addition to my work in the CTL, I am an associate professor in the School of Journalism. My instructional focus is in visual journalism. I teach courses in photojournalism and both print and online publication design. I am always looking for the best ways to tell stories using content, design and technology to meet the needs of particular audiences. The diverse talents and interests of those working in the CTL make it a powerful educational resource for me to draw upon.
