As an adjunct professor, I consistently encouraged my students to challenge conventional thinking and explore beyond traditional boundaries. My approach centered on creating an academic environment where students felt empowered to question assumptions, experiment boldly, and embrace both failure and success as integral parts of the learning process. This included:

• Design as a dynamic testing grounds, offering young minds the freedom to push limits and test hypotheses in a safe, consequence-free setting. This approach not only fostered creativity and innovation but also helped students learn valuable lessons from their experiments.

• Unconventional & engaging teaching style was well-received by my students, offering a refreshing departure from the typical, more rigid curriculum often found in university settings. It was a space where they could truly explore, innovate, and grow.
