Meet Ebrahim Peer - Interior Design Lecturer at AIE.
An interior designer by qualification and a passionate educator by nature, Ebrahim brings together real industry experience and creative insight to inspire the next generation of designers.
From working on-site in the industry to leading lecture halls filled with aspiring creatives, his journey reflects the balance between practicality, passion, and purpose.

At AIE, Ebrahim is dedicated to equipping students with industry-standard software, real-world skills, and the confidence they need to succeed beyond the classroom. But for him, it’s more than just teaching design - it’s about building a creative family where students grow, collaborate, and thrive together.

His biggest piece of advice?
“Consistency is key.”

A heartfelt thank you to Coenie and Antoinette for taking the time to share their knowledge, insights, and experience with our students!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Coenie Grebe, Executive Creative Director at Halo Advertising, and Antoinette Johnson, Head of Copy at Halo Advertising, for a guest lecture on inspiration, process, and creative collaboration in advertising.

Drawing on award-winning careers shaped across leading agencies, major brands, and recognised industry work, they shared valuable insights with our 2nd-year Graphic Design students into how a Creative Director and copywriter collaborate to turn strong thinking into standout advertising campaigns.

The lecture was open to students from other design disciplines and years to join online.
A sincere thank you to Coenie and Antoinette for generously sharing their time, experience, and expertise with our students.

Robin Turner - School of Art and Design HOD​

“We don’t produce students who make pretty things. We produce students who think really hard about the problems that people face, empathise with them, and then produces beautifully and immaculately considered functional solutions to that problem. Our students are strong, clever, independent thinkers and talented innovators.”
