teaching philosophy
I teach architecture as a reflective and relational practice—one that invites students to explore memory, culture, identity, and material through design. My classrooms are spaces for critical inquiry, poetic experimentation, and care. I guide students to ask not only how we build, but why—and for whom.
Outside of studio, I lead workshops and research initiatives that explore rest, cultural ritual, and community storytelling. Whether through digital collage or embodied drawing, students develop not only design skills, but a deeper sense of authorship and empathy.
I aim to help students see architecture as both personal and powerful—so they can imagine and create spaces that are more inclusive, responsive, and alive.
