Welcome to Looper Works

A Platform for Academic Exploration and Creative Inquiry

Looper Works is a personal platform where I share insights and reflections gathered from my work as an architect, designer, and educator. Rooted in academic practice and professional experience, this site explores the intersection of design, education, and career development, offering thought-provoking perspectives on how creative thinking and problem-solving can inspire meaningful personal and professional growth.

As an educator actively engaged in teaching at the university level and mentoring future professionals, I integrate academic rigor with practical application. My work focuses on bridging theoretical frameworks with experiential learning, encouraging students and professionals to embrace innovative methodologies that blend tactile and technological approaches to design and decision-making.

Design Thinking and Making: A Pedagogical Approach

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that design is both a tool for problem-solving and a medium for intellectual inquiry. Through a combination of design thinking and design making, I explore how individuals can better understand their careers, develop their creative capacities, and contribute to broader professional and academic discourses. This approach emphasizes critical reflection, interdisciplinary exploration, and the integration of emerging technologies with hands-on methodologies.

Fostering Academic Growth and Professional Development

Looper Works is an extension of my academic and professional endeavors, offering a space to discuss the connections between design, education, and career trajectories. Through essays, resources, and project reflections, I share strategies for fostering intellectual growth, cultivating creativity, and navigating complex professional landscapes.

A Global Perspective on Education and Design

Informed by my diverse professional experiences and global collaborations, my approach emphasizes the power of design and education to create meaningful change. Whether guiding students in developing portfolios, exploring innovative career paths, or delving into complex design challenges, I aim to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
