TEACHING STATEMENT

PEDAGOGICAL PHILOSOPHY

I am a strong advocate for fostering problem-solving skills in apparel design. To be a successful designer,

students must be critical and creative thinkers who can identify and research problems, and then find

innovative solutions. In this respect, I strive to challenge students in my class to research users’ background,

identify issues users have with apparel design, and generate a solution to the problem.

To nurture technology-savvy design professionals, I also strive to introduce technologies that best serve the

purpose of the classes, including Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Lectra Modaris, and Browzwear V-

Stitcher.

TEACHING FORMAT

Most of my classes are studio-based which best serves my pedagogical philosophy. Studio classrooms have

longer class sessions with focused and intense student activity. Following the individual or group activities, I

usually hold peer-to-peer review and critiques where students discuss each other’s work. I believe this

interactive classroom promotes holistic skills, including creativity, critical thinking and inquiry, as well as

self-reflection by students, all of which greatly enhances their problem-solving skills.

STUDENT MENTORING/ADVISING STATEMENT

GRADUATE STUDENTS

As a CARS faculty as well as a member of Graduate Faculty Committee, I have advised masters’ and

doctoral students’ research.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

While teaching the design studios, I always encourage students to disseminate their design work through

juried exhibitions and fashion shows. I believe that is one important way to contribute to the knowledge in

the field of apparel design.
