Guiding principles

Design is a team sport

Great design happens through collaboration. I guide the process, but everyone has a seat at the table.

Outcomes over output

What matters most is the result: improving experiences, solving problems, and driving measurable success.

Progress through iteration

I embrace learning through small, incremental improvements to deliver the right solution.

Empathy drives design

I listen deeply to educators to create tools that truly meet their needs.

Simplicity wins

I distill complex problems into clear, focused solutions that work for educators and students alike.

Always excited to connect and collaborate.
