What my Students Are Saying:
"Heiko was my Photography and Design Mentor for 10 months, I found his style of teaching to be clever, motivating, and gives you the freedom to express your creative flow. Heiko would explore the true nature of design using techniques seen from the origins of some of the greatest artists of our time, its truly inspiring and refreshing."

"Heiko breaks the mold with his unique teaching style, he combines tried and true theories with contemporary methods to share knowledge of all his creative avenues. For the 3 years I’ve known Heiko, I have gone from being his student, colleague, and friend. Through all of that he has never stopped being my mentor. As a teacher, he gave me the tools and theories to craft my ideas into something meaningful. As a colleague he helped me with project ideation, and was always pushing me harder to improve my craft. As a friend he continues to inspire me to better myself professionally and personally."

"Heiko is more than just a teacher. He is immersed in creativity and constantly honing his craft. He’s someone who walks the walk. This is so important when it comes to adult education. You want someone you can trust. Someone who has been there. Who IS there in the trenches with you. Who constantly pushes themselves to work through resistance and move through their own shit. To me this separates a teacher from a true educator and leader. It’s inspiring and that’s what I desire when it comes to education. At this stage in the game, I don’t want someone to tell me what to do. I want someone who teaches me how to learn and encourages me to reach and grow. Someone who is willing to take risks while giving me the room to get messy, occasionally fuck up and explore what it means to be creative."
