“To become thoughtful designers, students must master the principles of typography and its historical context, enabling them to challenge conventions with intention. The university fosters a space for fearless experimentation, focusing on the development of strong, defensible concepts. Clear communication is key, and I guide students to refine their work through active listening, asking insightful questions, and engaging in critical reflection—skills essential for their success in the design industry.”
