Teaching Philosophy & Experience
With over 19 years of teaching experience across preschool, K–12, academia, and adult education, my instructional design and pedagogical approach focus on creating learning structures and systems grounded in psychosocial and cultural perspectives, informed by principles of human development.
I have taught and designed curricula in Seoul, South Korea (2001–2011) and New York, United States (2017–present), integrating experiential learning, reflective practice, and design research into diverse educational contexts.
Subjects taught:
Art, Design & Technology — including drawing, painting, sculpting, crafting, installation, and multimedia design & art; Interaction and Media Design; Experience Design; Critical Thinking; Research Methods; Ethical Considerations in Design; Accessibility; Design Investigation; and problem-solving through ethonographic research, psychosocial and perspectives, and historical and cultural contexts.
