Whether I work with children, teenagers or adults, teaching for me is all about designing and delivering unique learning experiences. I pay a lot of attention to visual materials – presentations, templates, creative aids. I experiment with a variety of formats, combining lectures, exercises, thought experiments and inventing my own methodologies and processes. When I teach, I learn the most. I hold PhD in fine arts and serve as Assistant Proffesor at Narrative Drawing Studio, AFA Kraków.
