Approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is to find examples that inspire, then invite students to try their hand at using what they’ve learned from them to produce something of their own.

What inspires my own work
My own work is often inspired by things I’ve seen or read. I find myself wondering “What if this one thing was different?” and then I write it myself.
