Design Scholar, Practitioner & Academic Leader
I have designed online and hybrid courses with faculty and subject-matter experts for graduate, undergraduate, professional, and open-learning audiences at four public U.S. universities. Whatever the platform, I hold the design to the same standards: alignment between outcomes, materials, activities, and assessment; accessibility and inclusive representation; instructor presence; quality-assurance review; and built-in channels for learner feedback. Good online courses share these qualities with good courses of any kind.

-
Designerly Thinking sequence (LD-C 700–704)

As a Senior Learning Experience Designer, I led the design and launch of 30+ courses across degree, professional, and open portfolios, through:
-
Thoughtful collaboration with faculty, Learning Experience Designers, Design Managers, Media Designers, and other stakeholders throughout the course design and evaluation process
-
Proposing innovative educational technology solutions to pedagogical challenges and storyboarded multimedia activities, animations, and interactive experiences

Ensuring alignment among learning objectives, content, activities, assessments, and desired course outcomes.
