Those Who Love Building The Future, Teach

There is a saying that those we can’t do, teach. That can’t be further from the truth. Stella believes in building the future and one of the best ways to do that is to pass on the knowledge we have, without reservation. That is what motivates her to become a design educator. She is now rewriting the old saying to – “Those who love building the future, teach.”

Professor Guan did an amazing job of teaching us this semester, especially during these times. She teaches very diligently and is very understanding about her students’ situations and experiences. Whoever has her class next semester will be glad they get to learn under her guidance.

Cannot say enough great things about Stella. All feedback I’ve received has been extremely constructive, and the time taken in each class to answer any miscellaneous questions that I or my classmates have is invaluable. Stella is an incredible instructor and I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering pursuing graphic design as a career.

Stella is a very good instructor, covering material at a variety of levels so to engage with a classroom of mixed experience and abilities. She has a good mix of tutor-and-try, allowing students during the class to practice some of the concepts and frameworks being taught.
