Here’s where strategy meets creativity—just a glimpse.
The examples shared here offer a small window into how I approach instructional design: strategic, collaborative, and results-driven. Due to intellectual property agreements, much of my past work remains proprietary to my former employer. That said, I’m actively building and sharing new examples that reflect my skills, creativity, and learning design philosophy. This portfolio is a work-in-progress—thank you for your understanding as I continue to expand it.
