Greetings Gentle Readers

Madame Philosophe has been my online moniker for over a decade, now.

Since Spring 2008, I've been a graduate student in the Master's program in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technology (aka OLIT) at University of New Mexico.

My emphasis of study in the OLIT program is in Instructional Technology. I am interested in Interaction Design, Computer Simulations, Video for Instruction, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Psychology and the list goes on.

The majority of my courses so far have been with Dr. Fengfeng Ke, though I have also studied with Dr. Mark Salisbury, and Dr. Patsy Boverie our Department Chair.

I have a BFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. I've studied under Linda Connor, Reagan Louie, Jack Fulton, Doug Hall, & Carlos Villa, but this was sometime ago. One of my favorite SFAI instructors was the venerable Ray Mondini, but I can't find him anywhere. If you know where he is, will you let me know? His class, "Methodologies of Modernism" was a pivotal moment in my life.

You may be surprised to learn that I even have an AA in Fashion Design (with an emphasis in production) from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (aka FIDM), long before they even had a website. I have worked as a fabric use analyst for Jeanne-Marc, a line manager for Karen Alexander, and a stitcher for the San Francisco Opera. I have the skill to hem your pants or tailor a suit, but I won't, so please don't ask.

I have been doing websites since 1996 as a freelancer. Many of these have disappeared into mists of time. Here are some I've done recently.
