Design
I serve in digital design positions as an assistant editor for Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy; design editor for Computers and Composition Online; and former layout editor for Harlot of the Arts, all peer-reviewed journals in rhetoric, composition, and literacy. Additionally, I have served as web administrator for several professional organizations, including the Digital Media and Composition Institute; the Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing; and several disciplinary working groups.
I also pursue digital illustration and visual design projects, including the logo for the relaunch of the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives website and several short webcomics. My creative projects are key expressions of my driving intellectual commitments and passions.
