About Zoe

Hello! I’m Zoe, an interdisciplinary educator, artist, and psychology-trained learning designer. For a decade, I’ve helped curious and sensitive thinkers turn complex ideas into clear, compelling work—whether that’s a visual art series, a research project, or a new life direction.

My academic background includes dual master’s degrees in Developmental Psychology and Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University, as well as university-level teaching experience in Creative Learning Design at NYU Shanghai.

I founded the Soft Perception Lab as a research initiative to explore the intersection of emotion, perception, technology, and intuitive expression, inspiring new ways of thinking and creating.

Great learning happens when head, heart, and hand collaborate. In our lessons, you can expect:
• a warm, judgment-free space to explore ideas and emotions;
• structured, research-informed feedback that sharpens your thinking;
• imaginative tools—like metaphor, sketching, and sensory reflection—that unlock fresh perspectives;
• clear action steps so inspiration turns into tangible progress.

Whether you’re an artist seeking your voice, a student refining a project, or a professional in transition, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be—with rigor, empathy, and a dash of playful curiosity. Let’s create something meaningful together.

About the lesson

⸻
Teaching Approach & Method:
My approach is student-centered, emotionally attuned, and interdisciplinary. I combine reflective practices (such as visual journaling and creative prompts) with structured feedback grounded in art, psychology, and learning experience design. I meet each student where they are—whether they’re refining a creative project, rediscovering their voice, or moving through a life or academic transition. I help learners unlock expression, process complex emotions or ideas, and develop work that is both personally meaningful and intellectually sound.

⸻
A Typical Lesson:
Each session is tailored, but generally includes:
1. Check-in & Intention-Setting – What’s present today? What would you like to explore or move forward with?
2. Guided Exploration – This could include visual journaling, ideation exercises, or structured feedback depending on your needs.
3. Dialogue & Reflection – We’ll unpack what came up, identify patterns or insights, and plan next steps.
4. Gentle Integration or Homework – A creative or reflective practice to continue on your own.

⸻
What Sets Me Apart
• I bridge the emotional, intellectual, and intuitive dimensions of learning.
• I’m trained in Developmental Psychology and Instructional Design, with over 10 years of experience in education and the arts.
• I create a space where you can show up as your full self—messy, curious, unsure, brilliant.
• I founded Soft Perception Lab, where I research how emotion, perception, technology, and creative expression intersect.

⸻
Who It’s For

These sessions are for:
• University students, early-career creatives, interdisciplinary thinkers, and sensitive humans
• People working on art, educational, or psychology-related projects
• Anyone going through a life transition, creative block, or seeking to explore their inner world
• Individuals who feel “between disciplines” or unsure where they fit—and want a space to grow into their own direction

Zoe is a fantastic teacher! She is incredibly patient, and a wonderful listener. I really appreciate the warm and inviting space she creates so we can learn and exchange ideas in a collaborative manner and without any judgement. She always has a unique perspective on things, and excels at asking creative questions that generate deep introspective thoughts for both ideation and problem-solving. She has a great way of breaking down things that seem complex into smaller, friendlier, and more digestible concepts, and I also admire her ability to adjust quickly to different learning styles and prompts in order to suit my learning needs and meet me where I’m at. Working with Zoe is always such a joy, highly recommended!

All lessons will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. My listed hourly rate includes personalized lesson planning, reflective prompts, and access to any customized materials we use during our sessions (e.g., worksheets, creative tools, visual frameworks). Since I teach online, there are no additional costs for classroom space or travel. For project feedback or long-term mentorship, I offer tailored packages upon request. The first 30-minute free session is complimentary as a discovery call to determine if we’re a good fit.
