Design Philosophy

My approach to instructional design is rooted in my experience as a community college instructor and as a librarian who has answered hundreds of questions from adult learners representing a wide array of backgrounds. I begin from a place of empathy and I look at all learning experiences from the perspective of a busy professional who is juggling multiple responsibilities. My end goal is always to design a well-organized, accessible, and inclusive learning experience that honors participants’ needs and skills.
