Learning product leadership
C.O.O.L. Kids Learning Hub
Leading a standards-aligned, character-driven learning product for young learners.
See why & outcomeClose details+
- Product vision
- Reimagine established C.O.O.L. Kids characters as a playful learning hub where young children enter subject worlds, follow a story, and discover learning through exploration rather than menus.
- Curriculum system
- Built a standards-to-activity map that connects early math and literacy skills with games, printable practice, videos, and hands-on learning—so every experience has a clear instructional purpose.
- Experience design
- Created the MVP UX guide around a consistent Story → Problem → Play → Success → Return learning flow, with character guidance, touch-friendly interactions, gentle feedback, and meaningful celebrations.
- Team alignment
- Turn weekly planning conversations into clear, readable decision documents that keep the artist, full-stack developer, and learning-design work aligned on scope, content, assets, and next steps.
K–12 course system design
K–12 Programs (LMS-Agnostic)
A platform-flexible course system that turns individual activities into coherent, accessible K–12 learning pathways.
Open the case studyClose case study+
- My role
- Lead Learning Designer — I defined the course architecture, reusable templates, accessibility expectations, and development workflow that support consistent delivery across K–12 programs.
- Starting point
- Strong learning activities existed, but they were being developed independently. Without a shared course structure, learner progression, instructor expectations, and assessment alignment could vary from one program to the next.
- Design decision
- I designed the system around instructional structure rather than a specific learning platform. That choice keeps the work stable while technology decisions evolve and allows the same design to translate across in-person, blended, and online settings.
- Course architecture
- I created a repeatable framework that connects a syllabus, course map, modular learning sequence, assessments, and instructor guide—so objectives, learning activities, and evidence of learning work together from the beginning.
- Accessibility by design
- UDL-informed guidance is built into the system: multiple ways to access information, participate, practice, and show understanding. Accessibility is part of the structure, not a final-stage add-on.
- Instructor support
- Clear templates and facilitation guidance reduce unnecessary decisions for instructors, making it easier to focus on learner support, responsive teaching, and confident implementation.
- Implementation evidence
- The system has been tested through instructor-led, in-person course delivery and is designed to carry the same learning logic into blended and online formats as programs grow.
- What changed
- Course development can now move from one-off activity creation toward a shared, scalable process—supporting a more consistent experience for learners and a more efficient workflow for the team.
Clarify the learner, outcomes, progression, and evidence that will show learning.
Connect templates, modules, assessments, and instructor guidance into one dependable course framework.
Carry the same learning design across different programs, instructors, delivery modes, and future platforms.

K–4 Science Learning Lab
Designing a 5E, inquiry-based K–4 science curriculum that connects classroom learning with a purposeful field experience at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.
See the learning-lab designClose details+
- Design opportunity
- A field trip can be memorable yet disconnected from classroom instruction. I am designing this experience to turn a planned visit to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science into an authentic learning lab where students can investigate ideas they have already begun exploring in class.
- Learning framework
- The curriculum uses the 5E instructional model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—alongside inquiry-based learning. Students build questions before the visit, gather evidence during it, and return ready to make meaning and apply what they learned.
- Age-appropriate materials
- Materials are being designed for K–4 learners with clear visual supports, hands-on investigations, accessible vocabulary, short teacher prompts, and multiple ways for students to observe, communicate, and demonstrate understanding.
- Teacher implementation
- Curriculum maps, lesson plans, educator facilitation guides, student investigation tools, and before-and-after learning activities will help teachers connect the field experience to everyday science instruction with confidence.
Teachers introduce a phenomenon, activate prior knowledge, and invite students to make predictions before the field experience.
Observation prompts and student-friendly tools help learners collect evidence, notice patterns, and connect exhibits to their questions.
Classroom activities help students synthesize discoveries, apply concepts in a new context, and reflect on how their thinking changed.
Representative structures are shown here; full curriculum materials and partner implementation plans remain confidential.

Mobile App Design with Thunkable
A three-day app-design sprint from inspiration to a working prototype.
See why & outcomeClose details+
- Design challenge
- Give high school learners a clear, confidence-building first experience with app design and block-based coding—without requiring previous programming experience.
- Learning environment
- Used Thunkable’s Design, Blocks, and Live Test spaces so learners could build an interface, create logic, and test their app in the same workflow.
- Self-paced support
- Created a Padlet tutorial library with plain-language walkthroughs for the Thunkable interface, components, assets, block logic, variables, text input, and live testing—so learners could revisit a skill or move at their own pace.
- Outcome
- Students planned, designed, coded, tested, refined, and shared working apps while using Padlet to exchange questions, tips, screenshots, and peer feedback.
Investigate what apps do, then rebuild a simple social-media app.
Design an original social app and begin connecting interface actions with code blocks.
Test and refine the app, publish it to the Padlet App Board, and invite peers to vote.

- Outcome
- A research-backed implementation roadmap that gives SR1 a shared foundation for configuration, course development, migration, training, and sustainable platform operations.
Interactive career exploration
SR1 Future Pathways
A guided digital experience that helps young people connect their interests with possible careers, majors, schools, and programs.
See the learning experienceClose details+
- Why I built it
- Many SR1 students have not had a simple, low-pressure way to connect what they enjoy today with the college, career, and program choices around them. I built Future Pathways as a practical shared resource that makes those possibilities more visible and approachable.
- Community purpose
- The experience gives SR1 students and families a welcoming place to begin future planning together. It helps turn a big question—“What could I become?”—into smaller, meaningful next steps they can explore with confidence.
- Learning interaction
- A short interest check opens into six pathways—such as technology, health, creative arts, and community leadership—so learners can explore directions that feel personally meaningful.
- Connected choices
- Pathway exploration links interests to careers, majors, Mississippi schools, and programs, helping students see how today’s curiosities can connect to real community resources and future options.
- Design insight
- Future planning works best as an invitation to explore, not a demand to decide. Clear language and approachable choices make room for curiosity, reflection, and support.
