Learning innovation by doing.
I teach innovation and design methods through active participation. Students explore a challenge, develop ideas, test assumptions and explain the choices behind their work.
My approach connects the classroom with practical experience from corporate hackathons, design sprints and facilitated programmes.
Ways to work together
Guest lectures
A focused session that brings a practitioner’s perspective into your course. We agree the topic, student level and learning objectives so the contribution fits your programme.
Masterclasses & practical sessions
Interactive teaching with time to apply the methods, not just hear about them. Sessions can explore problem framing, ideation, collaboration, prototyping and pitching.
Project-based teaching
Support for students working through a design or innovation challenge, from understanding the problem to developing and presenting a response. Teaching can combine short inputs, guided exercises and feedback on work in progress.
How I teach
Start with a clear challenge and learning objective. Make room for different perspectives and levels of confidence. Combine explanation with hands-on work. Use feedback and reflection to help students explain their decisions.
Let’s shape the learning experience
Tell me about your institution, course, student level, group size and dates. We can discuss a guest session or a longer teaching contribution in English, French or Spanish.
