Designing For Deep Learning

Building Curiosity Through Spiral Learning

My background has given me years of experience designing, building, testing, and improving learning experiences across different contexts. I bring a strong foundation in learning science, technology, visual design, and continuous improvement, and I’m excited to bring that perspective to a dedicated instructional design team.

I’m comfortable taking ownership, collaborating with subject matter experts, learning new tools, and turning feedback into better work.

Sometimes you have to be an artist.

Sometimes you have to be an engineer.

I like being both.

A spiral curriculum inspired by the resiliency of Prince Rupert's Drop.

Instead of teaching each objective once and moving on, I designed a spiral curriculum that kept bringing students back to the same core ideas from new angles.

Learning Made Visible

Students first encountered a phenomenon, then revisited it through models, properties, atomic structure, bonding, forces, and data—each encounter adding another layer of understanding.

Complex Ideas
Made Visible

The result was a learning progression designed to spark curiosity, strengthen connections, and give students repeated opportunities to practice the skills that mattered most: developing and using models, analyzing data, and making evidence-based inferences.
