Design research includes: food packaging claims and consumer literacy, packaging communication and labeling policy, biomatierals, sustainable packaging, data abstraction, and archival materials/design history.

Projects below represent academic research and design experiments performed at University of Houston and Fresno State. In my academic teaching/research roles, I was also often exploring (and engaging students in) object-based learning, equity in design education, design ethics, and design's relationship to social justice/labor movements throughout history.
