01 / About

Kia ora — I teach design & technology.

I am completing a Graduate Diploma of Secondary Education at AUT, finishing October 2026. I came to teaching through four years as a multimedia specialist and five years tutoring design and technology at university level — so I teach students to think like designers and build like technologists.

[ In the classroom ]

My recent practicum at Kristin School had me teaching Digital Visual Communication and Digital Technology across Years 7–11 within IB frameworks — leading CAD modelling and 3D printing in Fusion 360, running graphic design and poster units, and designing inquiry-based projects that connect the design process to real-world contexts.

[ Before the classroom ]

As a multimedia specialist at TAFE Queensland I built interactive, web-based 3D learning with React, Blender and Three.js, and worked with educators to turn curriculum into engaging digital content. Earlier, as a museum educator at the Long Museum in Shanghai, I organised learning events around contemporary exhibitions such as James Turrell.

[ Beyond ]

I hold a Master of Information Technology in Interaction Design and a Bachelor of Choreography — a background that shapes how I approach visual storytelling and creative expression. I am fluent in Mandarin and English.
