Learning Design With UX-Level Clarity.
About Me
I design learning systems that bring content, experience, and infrastructure into alignment. My work integrates pedagogy, learning science, UX, and instructional architecture to create learning that is usable, scalable, and grounded in real-world constraints.
I work across the full learning lifecycle, including content and curriculum design, assessment strategy, learning experience and interface design, and the platforms that support delivery and iteration. I focus on cohesive systems where learning functions as a whole rather than as disconnected parts.
Domains of Practice
Learning Experience Design
Scenario-based and applied learning design. Asynchronous and blended learning pathways. Sequencing, scaffolding, microlearning, and learner-centered flow.
Content & Curriculum Design
Standards-aligned curriculum development. Content architecture and scope-and-sequence design. Instructional writing, simplification, and objective alignment.
Assessment & Mastery Design
Formative and summative assessment strategy. Mastery tracking aligned to real-world performance. Feedback loops, progress visibility, and iteration.
Learning UX & Interface Design
UX-informed learning flows and interaction design. Cognitive load reduction and usability optimization. Navigation clarity and cross-platform experience.
Instructional Systems & Architecture
End-to-end learning system design. Alignment across content, assessment, and delivery. Frameworks for scalability and maintainability.
Learning Platforms & Technology
LMS-based learning design and configuration. Platform- enabled workflows. Tool integration and iteration informed by usage data.
My background spans classroom teaching and technology-enabled learning environments. That experience shapes how I approach cognitive load, sequencing, learner readiness, and transfer. I design with performance in mind, not just completion.

Skills & Tools
One skill set. Multiple roles.
Because learning expertise doesn't always fit into a single box.
