EXPERIENCE

Design, digital products, learning, and institutional change.

Where the work happened.

Four settings across two decades, from helping individual people use creative tools to designing how an institution learns. The reasoning that connects them is on the About page.

2021 to present

University

Director of Smart Learning and E-Content Development

Designing how a university learns, and what lets it last.

Leads digital learning and content development across a university: how courses are produced at scale, how an adaptive platform decides what changes for whom, how short learning units stack into credentials, and which academic policies allow new approaches to become ordinary practice.

2019 to 2021

Education technology company

Products for schools, and the practice around them.

Product and content work in a company building digital learning technology for classrooms. This is where the gap between a product that works and a practice that changes became a daily question.

2014 to 2019

Non-profit online learning platform

Learning at platform scale.

Work on online learning delivered to people far from the place it was designed. Making learning available was the first problem. What availability led to was the next one.

2005 to 2014

Design and software partner

Close to the person.

Helped designers and organizations use creative and technical tools well. Working directly with people showed where an explanation fails, where confidence breaks down, and how much progress depended on someone being in the room.

Recent strategic directions.

The current role is organized around a small number of long-running directions. Each is a designed system with a named deliverable.

  • Stackable learning framework

    A governance and pathway architecture in which short learning units become credentials that build on each other, documented in a 48-page reference and a badge-to-certificate design.

  • Adaptive learning platform

    A formal requirements document and a 16-persona matrix that define what should adapt, for whom, and on what evidence.

  • Agentic course production

    An AI-assisted framework that replaces course-by-course projects with a repeatable production system.

  • Zero-textbook course delivery

    A delivery strategy developed through several framings with senior academic feedback, moving from a single course idea to institutional strategy.

  • Flipped learning attendance policy

    An asynchronous attendance policy that lets the flipped model operate inside existing academic rules, finalized after council review.

Education and fellowship.
