"What I love most about teaching is the constant exchange of ideas. There’s nothing quite like seeing the sparkle in a student’s eyes when they bring to life something that once only existed in their imagination. It's inspiring to know that by fostering spaces of inclusivity, creative exploration, and shared wisdom, both my students and I can give back something meaningful to our communities."

A TRIP TO RIO DE JANEIRO. “Rio is more than just beautiful beaches, stunning views, and vibrant parties. The city is bursting with culture, from world-class museums to iconic landmarks, all wrapped up in an aesthetic that’s unmistakably Rio. Architecture, interior design, fashion, graphic design—everything here has its own signature flair. And yes, the beaches, Carnaval, and that unmistakable Carioca warmth!”

The space offers a profound sense of calm, making it an ideal refuge when I'm feeling overwhelmed. The beauty of Noguchi's work, with its impeccably crafted forms, is both captivating and inspiring.”
