Learn to draw by observing the world around you.
In these classes we will explore drawing from life: people, places and everyday scenes.

We can work from real objects, photographs, or illustrations.
If you're interested in manga, ink drawing, or ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock prints), we can also explore that style.

If you have something you'd like to draw, you can bring it to class.
If not, we will use reference materials that I have prepared.

No prior experience is necessary. Beginners are welcome.

You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or also on a tablet if you prefer to work digitally.

The classes are adapted to your level and your interests.

I am currently based in Tokyo and offer in-person classes in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, as well as online classes.
If you wish, we can also go outside and draw together while observing the city.

Have you ever found the perfect 3D model online, only to realize it’s just a little too small, or missing a hole you need? Or maybe you have a brilliant idea for an invention, a custom bracket, or a replacement part for your house, but you have no idea how to design it from scratch?

AutoDesk Fusion 360 is one of the best solutions for beginners, hobbyists and even professionals when it comes to learning the basics of Computer Aided Design (CAD). Fusion 360 is also free to use for students or for personal use, making it easily accessible to anybody who knows how to use a computer.

Our 1-on-1, beginner-friendly tutoring skips the confusing training and teaches you exactly what you need to know to make awesome, real-world objects using a 3D printer.

Opening Fusion 360 for the first time can feel like sitting in the cockpit of a spaceship—there are just too many buttons.

Instead of just memorizing what the buttons do, you will build real-world skills through practical, print-focused milestones. Here is exactly what you will learn to do inside Fusion 360:

What You’ll Learn to Create (Step-by-Step)
We don't do boring, repetitive exercises or fill in workbooks. You'll learn by making real things every session using our on-site Bambu Lab printers! Here is what you’ll be able to do:

🛠️Design Custom Replacement Parts
Learn how to measure a broken item in your house (like a plastic clip, a battery cover, or a knob) with a pair of calipers and recreate it perfectly on your screen.

No more throwing things away just because a small plastic piece snapped. This give you an opportunity to learn why the original part broke and how you can make a more functional part of your own.

📐Make "Smart" Models That Resize Instantly
Learn the magic of making a design that adapts. You’ll create a project—like a storage box—where you can change one number (like the width), and the rest of the box automatically updates itself without ruining your work. You can reuse your own designs over and over for different projects.

🧩Design Parts That Fit and Move Together
Learn the secret to designing moving parts. We will show you exactly how much "breathing room" (clearance) to leave between plastic parts so that hinges swing, drawers slide, functional threads and lids snap shut without getting stuck.

🔩Mix Plastic with Real Hardware
Learn how to design perfect holes for metal screws, slots to drop in hex nuts, and spaces for bearings. Plastic unfortunately can't do everything, but with a bit of help from off the shelf parts, you can make your models and prints work with some very novel advantages sometimes not even possible in traditional manufacturing.

✂️"Remix" Existing 3D Files (STLs)
Take those files you download from websites like Thingiverse or Printables and learn how to actually change them. You'll learn how to cut parts off, stretch shapes, or add your own text and logos to existing models. Make anything fit your purpose and modify parts.

My teaching approach follows a structured workflow:
define the problem → understand the requirements → analyze the constraints → develop the geometry or data structure → create the drawing, model, or spatial analysis → verify accuracy → refine the solution → communicate it clearly

I do not simply demonstrate isolated commands. I help you understand why a workflow is appropriate, how information should be structured, how accuracy can be verified, how alternative solutions can be evaluated, and how the final technical idea should be communicated professionally.

We can work with your course syllabus, engineering problem, technical drawing, CAD file, Revit/BIM model, 3D model, parametric definition, GIS dataset, map, design project, portfolio, graphic layout, or professional workflow challenge.

Whether you are learning your first CAD commands, solving an engineering problem, developing a BIM workflow, building a 3D or parametric model, conducting spatial analysis, or improving technical visual communication, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, and pace.

My goal is to help you become an independent technical problem solver who can analyze, design, model, verify, visualize, and communicate solutions with confidence.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

I provide practical, one-to-one training in Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault, focused on helping students understand the software and apply it effectively to real engineering work.

The training can be adapted to your current level and objective. We can work through Autodesk Inventor concepts step by step, or take a completely hands-on approach where you create your own models while I guide you, identify issues, explain better methods and share practical modelling and engineering best practices.

For Autodesk Inventor, topics can include part modelling, assemblies, drawings, design intent, modelling strategies, constraints, parameters, design changes and general CAD best practices. If you already have experience with Inventor, we can focus on improving your modelling approach, solving specific problems or reviewing your existing work.

For Autodesk Vault, we can focus on understanding document and design data management, file organisation, versioning, revisions, check-in/check-out, working with CAD data and practical workflows for managing engineering files.

The lessons are not based on a fixed syllabus. I adapt each session to what you actually need to learn or solve. You can also bring your own model, exercise, project or specific problem and we can work through it together.

I have more than 14 years of experience working at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, CAD, PDM and PLM, so the focus is not only on which button to click, but also on understanding why a particular approach is useful in an engineering environment.

The lessons are suitable for students, engineering professionals, designers and anyone who wants to improve their practical Autodesk Inventor or Vault skills.
