The Design Department

(Head of Department)

Welcome to our new resources website. I teach years 8 to 13 both MYP and DP Design. My specialism within Design is working with materials such as wood, metal and plastics.

I have a degree in Product Design and also a P.G. Dip in Designing equipment for disability.

In an effort to be more eco-friendly I have taken up cycling to work and to relax I love to do large paintings of the Burgundy 'bocage' landscape, where I spend my summers.

Je suis le spécialiste des énergies renouvelables (solaire, éolien et hydraulique), des logiciels libres (linux) et des nano ordinateurs (Raspberry Pi et Arduino)

En salle 514 on transforme ses idées en prototype au quotidien à l'aide de la CAO et d'équipements tel que la découpe laser, l'impression 3D ...

Parallèlement à mon enseignement, je restaure un chalet d'alpage qui est aujourd'hui complètement autonome énergétiquement parlant, j'explique ici comment produire de l'électricité grace à la force de l'eau.

I have an engineering degree and a post graduate qualification in teaching Design Technology. My specialism in is product design and engineering. In my free time I play the bass guitar.

Je suis genevois et travaille en tant que technicien à 25% au sein du departement de design.

Si vous me cherchez pour vous aider dans un projet, vous pouvez me trouver dans le petit bureau dans la salle de M. Bain.

En parallèle, je suis enseignant d'arts visuels. Vous pouvez découvrir mon travail ci-dessous:

I did an engineering apprenticeship and a degree in robotics and mechanics. Besides being a teacher, I worked for companies designing machines that make machines and owned a consultancy supporting contestants for BBC Robot Wars and ITV Scrap Heap Challenge. My other passions are attempting to learn french, eating chocolate and anything related to biking, climbing or winter sports. I can also be found working on my camper van or at MACO (www.lamaco.ch) building a cargo bike or helping someone fix or make something.

Originally from the US, I went to design school in New York City and then went on to earn a MFA in fine art in California. I have been teaching since I graduated and come from a family of teachers. Additionally, I worked in museum education, where I was the Museum School Director at the Nevada Museum of Art, which offered art and design classes for children and adults. I have taught internationally for 10 years and have lived in Macau, Hong Kong, Italy and now Switzerland. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, making videos, hiking, cooking, meditation and yoga.
