About Dennis

I am a designer, educator, husband of 29 years, and father of four amazing young adults. I am passionate about design, education, costumes, and the performing arts in general. I am so grateful to have been able to build my career through doing what I love.

I truly enjoy the creative process that is an integral part of design. Whether working with a design team or mentoring student designers, I feel lucky to be a part of the process each and every time.

I feel very blessed to have been able to share my passion and enthusiasm for design through education. It is a privilege to take what I have learned and share it with young designers.
