My origami journey began as a child, when I first discovered the magic of transforming a simple square of paper into a delicate crane. Today, that childhood fascination has grown into a lifelong passion for sharing the elegance and mindfulness of this ancient art with others. I love teaching because I get to witness the "aha!" moment when a student completes their first piece and feels that immediate sense of pride. Beyond the beauty of the final model, origami is a powerful tool for improving hand-eye coordination and boosting mental well-being through focused relaxation.
Throughout my professional career as IT consultant, I have taught a number of students, ranging from curious children to professionals in high-pressure corporate environments. I have successfully led team-bonding workshops for major companies, using paper folding to spark creativity and collaboration. Most people don’t realize that origami is actually a lesson in patience and geometry hidden behind a veil of play. My extensive experience allows me to break down complex folds into simple, achievable steps for any skill level. I invite you to join my class to disconnect from the digital world and rediscover the tactile joy of creating with your own two hands. Let's fold something beautiful together!
