With extensive experience in education, I support the student’s development with strong focus on innovation and the cultivation of local and individual identity by asking them to weave together personal background’s narratives while researching and collecting local data, contacts and materials.
My expertise spans from individual workshops to leading main subjects in undergraduate and postgraduate levels in fashion design and textile. I teach design research, storytelling, concept development, creative textiles and pattern cutting, collection design, and portfolio building.Alongside teaching, I also support and help innovating the courses curriculums of design and textiles curricula as a Programme Leader and industry projects.
