As an educator, I bring my broad and varied experiences in art and design together to create an environment and process for learning.
My teaching methodologies include:
• Creating a culture of inquiry in the classroom
• Encourage healthy dialogue around relevant design issues and methodologies
• Teach to concept, with a strong focus on context
• Socially conscious projects (recent shift)
• Focus on design thinking while developing craft
• Using visual research methodologies
• Human centered design
• Involving non-designers in the innovation process
• Making innovation a priority
• Hands on studios, one on one time with each student
• Using critiques as a critical part of the learning process
• Mentoring, with portfolio development as a particular strength
• Strong understanding of color as it relates to both product and space
• Treat each student as if you were developing a brand
• Getting out into the world, especially for research and field trips
• Making meaningful form
• Sustainability with a focus on materials and design and product development
Ideas I would like to explore further in the future:
• Concept validation with iterative prototyping
• Develop new experimentation & research methods
• Partnerships with organizations for socially conscious design projects
• Interdisciplinary projects/processes
• More case study discussions – focus on “design thinking”
