About the Author

View my teaching portfolio for my CV and information about my educational focus.

My name is William, and you may have reached this site in search of information about the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I’ve been doing a lot of housekeeping on these sites lately, and I’m hoping that this new configuration will suit the needs of students, fellow educators, random visitors, and perhaps a family member or two.

Teaching

I am an instructor of Web Design and Interactive Media at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and I teach a number of courses related to information and interactive media design, screen design, graphics design, Photoshop and digital imaging, and other related design courses. Additionally, I teach a media communications course, a handful of online/Internet marketing courses, and an occasional computer literacy course.

Being a “jack of all trades, master of none” has paid off well for me, but I sometimes feel that I should narrow the scope of my perspective. (That, however, is very unlikely!)

I also own a handful of registered domains and I intend to use each of these for a particular purpose. Right now, I’m cleaning up the main site, so if you have come here seeking knowledge or a particular resource, leave me a note/comment to let me know what it is you are seeking.

Where can I learn more?

In the coming weeks, you will find some of the posts that I liked from the old blogs. In the meantime, you can link to my del.icio.us feed, my Twitter feed, my Facebook profile, my LinkedIn profile, or my FriendFeed. Social media sites can be time-consuming, but it’s always good to be aware of your public persona on the Internet!

And if you would be so kind, please subscribe to the RSS feed for the site. If you have no idea what RSS means, get on the bandwagon! Sign up.

Peace.
