3- Research

Combining my roles as a designer and teacher, I have embraced the role of a practitioner-researcher. Through my research, I strive to foster the entrepreneurial mindset in designers, with the aim of transforming their professional roles into reflective and responsible practices. I explore how entrepreneurship, as a pedagogical approach, can provide alternative methods to enhance design education and learning. Entrepreneurial education holds the potential to equip students with a diverse skill set, empowering them to address the social and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
