Since I started teaching in 2002, I have utilized my hands-on experience as creative director to my class, acknowledging individual interests and skills and directing students to their full potential. Following a liberal arts education approach that empowers them to deal with diversity and rapid change in several relatable fields to design.

​

Courses I teach vary from foundation to professional studio practice courses, and supervising graduation thesis and projects. Encouraging a creative design thinking approach towards experimental and reflective problem solving for foundations’ level, and offering more experiential learning methodologies, introducing real client briefs and encouraging teamwork and peer group critiques for more professional classes.

 

As a mentor, my commitment to students extends beyond their scholar expert to utilizing my network to secure internships and starting jobs, and constantly supporting their scholar and practical careers.
