- Professor and Coordinator of the Fashion Textile Technology Program at Buffalo State College. I have been teaching Fashion/Textile Apparel Design in higher education since 1990. My undergraduate educational background is in textile/fiber design. I began to merge traditional and digital textile techniques during my M.F.A. research at R.I.T in 87-89′. Since that point I have been on a steadfast journey first to transfer all my traditional techniques to digital interpretation and then to continually retool and develop new coursework to reflect the transformational changes relating to global technology integration that is taking place in all aspects of the fashion/textile industries. My current research area is the transition and expansion from 2D traditional to 2D Digital to 3D virtual for apparel textile product design, development and retailing.
