Teaching Philosophy
"The ability to observe, analyze, and shape our built environment is a fundamental human capability, not a specialized skill reserved for professionals."
My teaching approach integrates evidence-based design research with hands-on making. I draw from my interdisciplinary background in architecture, science, and the liberal arts to challenge students to think critically about the complex relationship between people, place, and well-being.
Whether in a graduate studio, a community workshop, or an after-school art program, I am committed to inclusive pedagogy, believing that diverse perspectives are essential to producing stronger, more humane design outcomes.
