Current Academic Role & Responsibilities
My teaching expertise includes Drawing and Painting, where I guide students in developing artistic fundamentals, creative thinking, visual composition, and technical skills. In addition, I teach Rigging and Animation subjects, helping students understand character setup, motion principles, digital workflows, and industry-oriented animation practices. I also handle Design-related subjects that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving abilities, and interdisciplinary creativity.
