Describe your approach to teaching
I aim to be approachable and generous in my teaching, sharing real-life experience and practical insight to help students navigate the industry with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of what’s truly possible.

What inspires your own work?
I’m inspired by the way thoughtful design can transform everyday life—how space, light, and material shape how we feel, connect, and function. Real people and real stories always drive my work.
