I am deeply passionate about being a design educator. This role enables me to nurture and empower each student’s creative and collaborative capacities as well as to ensure awareness in the responsibility and ethical implications of design practice. My aim is to help cultivate the next generation of design practitioners and researchers that will become change agents capable of positively transforming our world.

I have developed and taught undergraduate and graduate-level design courses and held lectures at seven different universities that include Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECUAD, Canada), Umeå Institute of Design (UID, Sweden), University of British Columbia (UBC, Canada), Simon Fraser University (SFU, Canada), University of Twente (UT, Netherlands), Design University Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd (HfG, Germany), and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (HDA, Germany). Experiences across these diverse settings have provided me with rich opportunities to explore and refine my teaching philosophy. Below I offer a selection of my educational work.
