Mentorship & Advising

​

Mentorship is central to my academic practice. I work closely with students through individual feedback, advising, and project-based guidance, supporting their development as designers, makers, and collaborators within academic and professional contexts. I emphasize professional preparation, reflective practice, and ethical engagement with craft and community.
