Design for Change
As an educator, I believe design has the power to shape minds, foster empathy, and inspire meaningful change. My goal is to create learning environments that cultivate critical thinking, equity, and social responsibility. Through trans-disciplinary collaborations, my work explores how design education can drive real-world impact, empowering communities and nurturing the next generation of socially conscious designers.
