Vladimir Simić

  • Design Teacher

Vlad finds joy in the simple pleasure of a good book, which has become a daily practice in mindfulness for him. Reading not only relaxes his mind but also broadens his perspective. Traveling is another passion of his, and he loves exploring new cultures, customs, and cuisines whenever time allows. Spending quality time with friends and making new friendships is important to him because he believes we can learn so much from others. His family time is especially precious, providing a source of happiness and grounding on daily basis.


Professionally, Vlad is dedicated to guiding his students through the exciting world of Design. He finds great fulfillment in teaching, helping his students develop their creative skills and fostering their passion for the subject. Collaborating with colleagues is also a key aspect of his professional life, offering continuous learning opportunities and fresh insights.

Isambard Growett

  • Design Teacher

Introducing Isambard Growett (known as Izzy to his friends, so please call him Isambard). Described by many as an acquired taste, this individual has a curiosity for knowledge and a flair for creativity. With a diverse background in design, Izzy has honed his skills through years of trial and error. He possesses a deep enjoyment of logical fallacies and conspiracy theories and is known for his exceptional (if not always accurate) problem-solving abilities. Izzy's relentless pursuit of excellence has led him to achieve notable milestones in his career (just ask him and he’ll tell you). His dedication and attention to getting the best out of his students is the motivation that sees him face each day. After 2 decades as an educator Izzy is as excited about this year as he was about his first. Outside of his professional pursuits, Izzy is an avid BJJ practitioner and enjoys exploring new cultures and cuisines. His strong communication skills and collaborative nature make him a valuable asset in any team or project. With an unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth, Izzy is looking forward to inspiring and making a positive impact at ISHCMC.
