Tikvah Breimer (1982) is an independent senior advisor and teacher trainer in the field of curriculum design. Having received her Master Degrees at Utrecht University (Anthropology cum laude, Bilingual and International Teaching, Master of Arts) and Erasmus University (Urban Management and Development, with distinction), the Netherlands, she has worked first in a secondary school (International Baccalaureate), as teacher and teacher trainer. She continued to work at Erasmus University an institute for capacity development as academic staff in the land/housing team, and then as programme manager and project lead at UK-based NGOs amongst others on WASH. In 2022, she founded StudioBlended.

The story of origin of founding the Studio lies in the deep understanding that technical resillience of your curriculum, and human resillience of teachers/trainers are two sides of the same coin. Tikvah conducts ongoing research to the various design angles in a unique philosophy and methodology for curriculum design that is part of the Studio’s advisory and training services. Her work is unique for bridging silos between the content fields of architecture, urbanism and climate - and the realm of educational expertise and practice, by design.
