Learning Design Work That Restores Agency
A collection of my learning design work, from style guides to interactive job aids. Each project demonstrates my approach to creating experiences that restore learner agency.
Instructional Design Portfolio
Academic projects that demonstrate my philosophy of "opening doors to learning"
How My Philosophy Applies to Instructional Design
These projects represent my formal academic work in learning design and technology. Each one embodies the same principles that guide my broader approach: creating safe spaces for exploration, designing for human growth, and using technology to restore agency rather than overwhelm.
While my Projects page shows how these principles apply to community building and wellness, this portfolio demonstrates their application in traditional educational contexts.
eLearning Prototype: Recognizing and Responding to Confusion
I created this comprehensive eLearning experience to help Title I high school students develop metacognitive awareness around academic confusion. The course features interactive scenarios, multimedia assessments, and evidence-based strategies for turning confusion into learning opportunities.
Job Aid: Confusion Recognition Guide
I designed this job aid to provide immediate, actionable guidance when learners need it most. The design prioritizes scannable information architecture and clear visual hierarchy to support quick decision-making in real-world contexts.
eLearning Flowchart: Learning Path Architecture
I developed this flowchart to map the complete learner journey through complex educational content, balancing linear progression with meaningful choice points that support different learning preferences.
Explainer Video: The 4 Signals of Confusion
I created this explainer video to transform complex concepts into accessible, engaging content through strategic use of visual storytelling and narrative structure.
eLearning Style Guide: Visual Design System
I developed this comprehensive style guide to ensure visual consistency across all learning materials, drawing inspiration from calming natural environments to reduce learner anxiety.
