At the confluence of design and education
I enjoy developing impactful learning experiences achieved by integrating proven methodologies from both the fields of user experience and pedagogy.
Let's talk
Some past projects
Take a look at my work.
Asynchronous online course development
Developing a fully online, asynchronous writing course presents a myriad of choices when it comes to how the course should be designed. This course utilizes the Canvas LMS with a strategically designed UI that streamlines accessibility and productivity in a logical manner through a purposeful information architecture and user experience.

Hybrid course design
Some people consider hybrid learning the best of both worlds, but without proper planning, it can be a learner experience nightmare. Using a combination of backwards design coupled with a meaningfully designed Canvas LMS course site establishes a recipe for success for a learner's journey.

A bit about me.
I am . . .
01
an educator
I love learning new things and sharing what I've learned in innovative ways. With the rapid spread of online learning in the educational landscape, it's more important than ever to be able to match tools with skills and experience. Having a strong foundation in pedadogical principles has really proven to be a benefit in honing my craft and being able to discern which methods and modalities might be best suited for a particular student or group. A couple of principles that I really endorse are keeping a student-centered approach and enabling student autonomy for individual growth.
02
a human experience designer
As a human experience designer, my professional journey revolves around crafting meaningful and impactful learner experiences in particular. I attempt to use a holistic approach to design by integrating diverse data collection methodologies, including user interviews, surveys, and journaling, into the educational landscape. I love discovering learners' unique perspectives and needs so that I can create custom tailored experiences. I do this by drawing on principles from user experience (UX) design where I transform data into cohesive design flows. This process involves the strategic implementation of UX tools such as user journeys, personas, and the development of information architectures within the confines of larger design systems such as an LMS platform.
03
an excellent listener
Being a good listener is crucial for any designer because it allows for a deeper understanding of user needs and preferences. As a UX designer, I excel in active listening during user interviews, enabling me to capture nuanced details and empathize with users. I believe this skill is both underrated and fundamental in creating user-centered solutions that genuinely address and enhance the user experience.
