Describe your approach to teaching
My teaching style is to be as flexible as possible so each student's requirements and expectations are met. Contact with students prior to a course allows me to understand those needs and adapt the content accordingly. Course notes are provided.
What inspires your own work?
Anything and everything. Good design and aesthetically pleasing forms.
