Learning Experience & Product Designer · AI-Enabled · Human-Centered AI · Accessibility
I design and build AI-powered learning and experiences.
Ph.D. learning-experience designer and product thinker with 15+ years turning complex, high-stakes systems into clear, human-centered experiences — now designing and building AI-powered learning: agentic assistants, knowledge-grounded (RAG) experiences, and AI-assisted content at scale, always accessible and ethically grounded.
What I do
Product & UX strategy
Framing problems, mapping journeys, and sequencing complex flows into usable experiences.
AI-assisted design workflows
Prompting for ideation, interaction copy, and rapid prototyping — with a human quality bar.
Accessibility leadership
WCAG, Section 508, and UDL as design inputs, not a final audit.
Technical collaboration
Turning ambiguity into specs engineers can build directly from.
Systems translation
Making complex, technical subject matter clear for real people.
Design systems thinking
Reusable patterns and structures that scale across products.
Selected work
Case studies
Told through process and decisions — no proprietary interfaces required.
Making a Complex System Feel Like One Conversation
Turned a dense, multi-variable system into a staged onboarding that feels like a single guided conversation — designed with AI-assisted prototyping and built with engineers.
Scaling 1,400 Course Launches Without Breaking the Experience
Supported the design and launch of 1,400+ online courses during the pandemic response by turning one-off course building into a repeatable, quality-checked system.
A Certificate People Actually Finished
Designed interactive courses and certificate programs where engagement mechanics and evidence-based iteration were built in — so learners started and finished.
Accessibility as a System, Not a Checklist
As accessibility lead on a federally funded initiative, I set reusable standards so accessibility scaled across many contributors instead of depending on one reviewer.
Let’s build something clear.
Open to Product Designer, UX, and AI-assisted design roles where complexity needs to become usable.
