Good guess (I have thought about picking a fashion designer before), but no. (This means you still have a free guess to use.)

It might be good to narrow down the birthplace somewhat.
Born in what is currently the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Spain, or Albania?

Should be teacher, or discoverer of a person famed for their contribution to the arts?

Think Scooter Braun with Justin Bieber or Sam Phillips with Elvis. I could’ve worded it better, but my reasoning is that it could be someone more famous for their upbringing of talent

No. Not the discoverer of a different famous artist. Not primarily famous as a teacher (but has served in that kind of role).
The point is: he is famous as an inventor, per Q13.

Do you want to rephrase your question? See my previous question for comments about his teaching.

Ok yeah fair I just thought maybe he was still a "teacher" in your mind too and wanted to keep that open.
Considering that you literally said he's an inventor, scratch the teacher part of the question
