DesignTinkers recognize the child's unique ways of seeing the world. We want them to be inquisitive of what works and what does not in their environment and to instill critical thinking at an early age. By exposing children to design concepts, principles and aesthetics, we introduce the design process as a methodology to problem solve and encourage our young ones to be creative in finding solutions.
DesignTinkers provide fun and nurturing camps and workshops across various disciplines in Art, Design & Architecture. Our programmes are designed to pique curiosity, prompt inquiries, challenge norms and to test ideas to get to unique outcomes through a design process.
"Be the first to know of our fun & exciting workshops!"
We are a team of Educators, Designers, and Architects dedicated to providing fun and immersive maker learning experiences. We value diversity, innovation, preservation and sustainability.
Tessa earned her Architecture degree from RMIT University and is a registered Architect (ARBV) with professional practice experience in Australia and Singapore. In 2010, she began her journey in architectural teaching and has since developed a passion for working with teens and children.
As a parent, Tessa actively explored fun, creative, and alternative methods to teach, share, and engage her child during her early formative years. She focused largely on hands-on, creative problem-solving activities in art, design, and technology
Based previously in London with her family, Tessa collaborated with London-based Creative Learning Experience to develop a Design + Architecture after-school club programme. She also co-designed a public event for Open House Families, organized by Open City London, UK. Building on her knowledge and experience, Tessa founded DesignTinkers to create a fun and nurturing maker-learning space for young minds, fostering creativity and critical thinking through hands-on exploration of design concepts and solutions.
At DesignTinkers, we create engaging programmes that make learning fun for children from all backgrounds.
