Design

Designing for Learning, Joy and Justice

My work in education is centered on design—not as ornament, but as intention made visible. From course development to program leadership, I use design thinking to shape systems, lessons, and technologies that are equitable, accessible, and responsive to real-world learners.

Whether crafting teacher training simulations, developing global learning frameworks, or prototyping equity-driven digital portfolios, I view every act of teaching as a design opportunity—one that invites creativity, empathy, and transformation.
