As a Teacher | Learning by Design

Art carries the quiet power to confront, to provoke thought and to change the world.

It surfaces what we cannot yet say. That is why imagination is so important, and needs to be cultivated through creativity. It is how the future gets made.

I relocated from Amsterdam to Melbourne in January 2026. My background is in visual communication, critical media theory and storytelling, work that tracks cultural change and asks what it demands of us visually. That question lives in my classroom.
