Welcome! My name is Michael Goh and I am glad that you’ve paid me a visit. I am an adjunct instructor at Houston Community College. I am also an experienced Web and Graphic Designer with practical experience from my web designing business and creative, artistic expertise through my Major in Advertising Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, a State University of New York, Cum Laude. I also, have a Certificate of Web Production from Houston Community College Systems. I am employed full-time by the City of Houston as a web designer in the Planning and Development Department's GISTD (Geographic Information System Technical Divison).

I mostly enjoy the arts, and museums, cultural events, artistic performances, good architecture, lighthouses and wherever there is a crowd such as the Houston International Festival. I always see change as a challenge and believe that everything works for the good of all. I have lived in Houston since 1994, and also see this city’s growth and changes as a good, exciting and a great palette for creative designs. I am intrigued by the development, preservation, and happenings in the diverse neighborhoods of Houston as well as our current debates about urban planning and design and mobility issues.

I have been described as a tough, thorough, comprehensive but also helpful instructor. I currently teach the course in PhotoShop at the Southwest campus. From my students, I expect professionalism, attention to detail and creative thinking. I challenge my students to strive for the best and work to bring the best out of them.  My goal as an instructor is to impart my experience and knowledge to students and assist them in translating their class learning to the real word. I work to prepare my class for both the print and web world. 

Students will experience an intensive class environment and be challenged to accomplish their work in an artistic and professional manner.  If design is not one of your major or required courses, your experience in the class may help you see things in a different way. 

See you in class.

M.Goh
