I believe in the power of reflective and reciprocal teaching. As an art and design educator, I take on the responsibility of creating a dynamic, inclusive, and engaging learning environment that empowers students to become proficient and thoughtful artists and designers.

Drawing inspiration from Paulo Freire’s emphasis on dialogue and critical inquiry (1970), I aim to foster an open and inclusive space for students to engage in critical discussions, exchange ideas on contemporary art and design, share knowledge, and embrace unique perspectives. This reciprocal learning promotes a strong sense of community, where students actively contribute to their own learning and that of their peers. This principle extends to the critique process, where conversational communications help students articulate their creative choices and receive constructive feedback, nurturing a supportive and respectful community of learners.
