I design for the human first.

I'm a learning and instructional designer in Boston. For the past decade I've helped students, teachers, and sales teams learn things that genuinely matter to them. The question I keep coming back to is a simple one: does this person walk away feeling capable?

How I think about learning

A few things I believe.

  • 01

    I start with the human, not the content.

    Before I open an authoring tool, I want to know who's learning, what's getting in their way, and what success actually feels like for them.

  • 02

    Clarity is a kind of respect.

    Taking something dense and medical, or abstract and academic, and making it genuinely clear is the hardest and most caring work I do.

  • 03

    Every choice has to earn its keep.

    Interactions, scenarios, assessments. If something doesn't help a person learn, it doesn't make the cut.

  • 04

    Access is the baseline, not a feature.

    Learning should work for every person, on every device, whatever their ability. I build that in from the first draft.

Got a learning problem worth solving?

A training initiative, a course that needs rethinking, or just a conversation about how people learn. I'd love to hear about it.
