I love teaching! I have developed several classes and workshops in digital artmaking for comics and games, talks on narrative structure and wellbeing, and core Unity learning in Toronto, Ontario.  I have a few classes I have prepped and ready to go! If you run an arts organization/educational facility or just have space in your world to get a bunch of humans together in a place, please reach out! I teach these courses fairly regularly around the Toronto area, at various places but this has become more rare since the pandemic – my classes tend to take place online.. You can check the events page to see if I have any classes coming up.
