I teach to ignite change, not just deliver content.
For me, teaching is a form of care—and a form of protest. Whether I’m leading a printmaking workshop, mentoring emerging designers, or guiding people through creative discovery, I help students reclaim their voice and see their work as part of something larger.
I believe in classrooms without shame, critique without cruelty, and learning that sticks because it’s lived. My approach blends rigor and compassion, craft and context. I design curriculum to equip people with not just tools, but confidence—and the power to use creativity in service of justice, healing, and joy.
