Teaching Experiences

Being a design and innovation educator is a critical component of my practice. As an educator, I am responsible for molding the next generation of changemakers. My teaching philosophy is rooted in experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. I encourage students to engage with complex real-world problems through critical design thinking. I emphasize the importance of empathy, critical thinking, reflexivity, and collaborative problem-solving, equipping students with the skills to approach and apply design as a holistic and integrative practice.
