Life as a design instructor
I have never thought I would be teaching. When the opportunity presented itself though, I was very eager to give it my best and seize it. One small event leading to a series of larger events was what got me into receiving a job offer at Red Academy, a newly built bootcamp in Toronto.
It is very exciting to share knowledge with students from all walks of life. Being an instructor has taught me a lot more than I ever thought it would - I learned how to handle and manage expectations in a high-pressure environment, and how to help individuals reach their goals in a way that works for them.
The students varied from slightly older professionals in completely unrelated fields, young aspiring designers who have never worked a full-time job before, to everyone in-between. The relationships forged through this experience continue to be rewarding and important to me, and seeing so many of these students working in the industry is one of my biggest accomplishments.
