Teaching

Through a mix of theoretical reflection and creative experimentation, I teach courses that investigate the role of the designer and explore the power of craft as a tool for co-creation. Inviting students to question both our immediate surroundings and our greater environment.

Design
Methods

A theoretical and practical course that aims to re-examine and re-imagine the students connection between resources, materials and products. This course provides insights into the basic knowledge of nature, resource, material, scarcity in relation to exploratory approaches to design, craft, method and materials. Investigating the power that design has to inform and inspire products/services that contribute to a circular economy.

Cross-Border Materiality

Courses that aim to provide an insight into how natural and social materiality has intrinsic value and origin beyond the power relationship (humans/resources). Exploring how we relate to materials, how we acknowledge them and how we can rediscover them in our every day surroundings. Facilitating encounters with our natural environment and emphasising the sensuous aspects.

slow, co and grow

Using a slow design method to research, develop and create a project that explores multi-sensory experiences and challenges our perceived perceptions. Teaching courses that questions the mind and body divide, suggesting that knowledge can grow out of the interactions and observation with our surroundings.
