My teaching philosophy begins with empowering design students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and communicate their ideas with clarity and purpose.

I emphasize the integration of conceptual thinking and practical application, encouraging students to explore, test, and refine their visual language and technical skills. Through studio work, critique, and discussion, I aim to foster a culture of creativity, reflection, and continuous growth.

Leadership

As a faculty member in the School of Architecture at Kuwait University, I am actively involved in teaching, mentoring, academic planning, and curriculum development. My commitment lies in creating meaningful design education experiences that balance theoretical grounding with industry relevance.

Beyond teaching, I’ve been fortunate to work with a dedicated team of faculty and administrators committed to advancing our department’s goals. I’ve served as Acting Chair and participated in shaping the curriculum, improving course structures, and aligning our programs with both local and international academic standards.

I value collaboration and take pride in being a dependable team player. Much of the progress we’ve made was built on shared ideas, careful planning, and a collective effort to create a more responsive and future-ready academic environment for our students.
