Pedagogy
︎Practice-led and research-informed, my pedagogy focuses on pioneering new methods and models for partnering professional bodies and employers, as well as public and private sector organisations with academia to shape programmes, connect students and staff to future agendas, and to inform and influence the industry, impact the economy and contribute to the well-being of people and society.
︎My main interest and strengths are in developing future designers who seek to work globally; beyond our traditional sectors and borders with the ability to engage with new audiences and industry partners. I have taught and trained individuals with diverse backgrounds who have won national and international bursaries and awards from the public and private sectors, including the Royal Institute of British Architecture︎︎︎, New Designers︎︎︎, the Royal Society of Arts︎︎︎, the American Institute of Archiects, UK︎︎︎, and the James Dyson Award︎︎︎. They have gone to apply and evolve in cross-and multidisciplinary teams through their ability to think critically and act practically, challenge paradigms, speculate on futures, influence policy, prototype propositions and subsequently play a key role in designing resolutions to seemingly unique and complex urban problems.
