Hi there! My name is Rée, and I live at the intersection of Education and Media.

With a BA in Fine Art, MFA in Filmmaking, and 15+ years of teaching experience as a TESOL-certified learning designer, I develop and produce creative projects for impact driven start-ups, nonprofits, and independent creators raising the next generation.

Some of my recent projects include co-authoring a textbook financed by the South Korean government, redesigning the website for a NGO operating in 40 countries, and directing a video series commissioned by a large American art museum.

Using the human-centered design framework to gather stories, insights, and ideas from people on all 6 inhabitable continents, homeroom is a global movement (disguised as a podcast) to reimagine education systems that prioritize collaboration over competition.

In Season 1, we defined our problem: our mass education systems prioritize economic profit over human flourishing. In Season 2, we translated the problem into a redesign challenge: how might we redesign education systems to prioritize collaboration over competition? In Season 3, we explored that question in more depth, and in Season 4, I’m synthesizing everything I heard.

Check out the first two episodes of S4; the third will air in February, 2026!

Before homeroom, there was HOMEWORK, a web series set in a dystopian America manufactured by an unhinged president.

With schools that prize test scores over morals and a media environment that publishes alternative news to preserve an inequitable balance of power, the culture documented in HOMEWORK reflects in many ways the state of our own nation. In its pilot episode, HOMEWORK imagines what our public schools might look like in a near future where even today’s scant political oversight is compromised.

Here is a short story/film I made about how homeroom and HOMEWORK are connected to my personal story.
