Teaching Philosophy
My teaching approach adapts spatial thinking, narrative design, and interdisciplinary exploration. I create learning environments where architecture, media arts, and cultural studies converge, challenging students to think beyond traditional boundaries. Through hands-on projects, I encourage critical inquiry and the application of theory to real-world challenges. My classrooms flourish by embracing diverse fields such as the humanities, narrative inquiry, and experience design. I guide students toward ideas that are emergent, thoughtful, and just a bit mischievous—because we ought to be taken seriously, lightly, and lightly, seriously.
