Bio
Rachel Gerson
Lee is incredibly passionate about what he does. Whether it's staying up all night to work on a piece or just whipping out a quick sketch, you can tell immediately that he loves it. I was fortunate enough to work with Lee while he was completing his Master's thesis. And we would spend day in and day out at the coffee shop, talking about art and teaching. However he decides to pursue this love, whether it's in a higher ed classroom or the lower grades, his students will benefit greatly from not only his knowledge but also his passion.

Lee served as my TA for the Cyberpedagogy class at SAIC, and he excelled in the position. He worked well with the students in class, putting them at ease around technology, and passing along his extensive knowledge of design software, tools, and media. Lee was reliable, took initiative on projects, and his easygoing made him fun to work with. I highly recommend Lee as an artist, designer, and educator.
