Design lecturer and educator

Design course teaching experience

Within the Bachelor of Design program, I was the sole lecturer in fifteen distinct courses and co-lecturer in another two. Across all courses taught I contributed to the advancement of an innovative, interdisciplinary design curriculum by revising existing content, delivering engaging lectures and workshops, assessing student work, providing academic support and counselling.

    This subject enables students to reflect on who they are as emerging designers and deliver a self-initiated capstone project that presents who they are and their unique point of view. Students clarify their values, strengths, position, professional direction and identity as emerging designers. Students identify an area for professional development and personal exploration, conceptualise and articulate a self-initiated major project brief. Students design, deliver, and document a major capstone project that acts as a vessel for communicating who they are and supports the realisation of professional goals at a pivotal time as they make the transition from University to Industry.

    This subject focuses on the value that design strategy brings to business through the exploration of disruptive and systematic problem-solving approaches. Students utilise service design principles to research, analyse, and define opportunities, streamline systems and processes, and formulate strategic responses to user and market needs. Students create an innovative business solution that drives holistic long-term sustainability alongside commercial viability that reimagines conventional business models in the 21st century.
