Classes & Workshops

The pursuit of mental and physical balance
has been a cornerstone of my life.

My passion for Design and Performing Arts found resonance in the East, where ancient philosophy and martial arts thrive.
My journey began with Judo at the age of 16, and it ignited an unending exploration into meditation, Tai Chi, Yoga, and particularly, Aikido. The principles of these “arts of motion” have permeated every aspect of my teaching strategies. Whether I’m instructing a student on the proper grip of a bagpipe or guiding them through a breathing exercise, these teachings are present. They’re there when I delve into design thinking and when I help students navigate the frustrations that inevitably arise in the learning process. Architecture has instilled in me a knack for identifying patterns and understanding the inherent order in nature. Meanwhile, Design has shifted my focus away from the singularity of Artwork. Ultimately, the “repetition”, “consistency”, and “replicability” of actions and intentions have taken precedence over “singularity”. This balance between structure and fluidity, between tradition and innovation, is what defines my approach to any field of human endeavour.
