Learning Experience Design Projects

  • 30-Session Adaptation of Google's Digital Marketing Course for Neurodiverse Learners

    When the nonprofit I worked at received a grant from Google.org, I was tasked with transforming Google’s content- and jargon-heavy Digital Marketing & E-commerce Certificate into a more accessible, neurodivergent-friendly learning experience. Using Universal Design for Learning (UDL), I redesigned the course to be more flexible, engaging, and supportive of students with cognitive learning disabilities.

UX Projects

  • Identifying Usability Issues in a Student Pairing Tool for Teachers

    I was a UX research intern at Carnegie Mellon’s University Human-Computer Interaction Institute. My project was an AI-powered web tool for teachers to more easily pair up students in the classroom. I recruited teachers, conducted user sessions, and identified usability issues in the prototype.

  • Orthodontic Website Redesign for Inman Aligner (freelance client)

    Redesigned an outdated orthodontist site to better align with the parent brand and showcase aligner products for dental professionals. I revamped the site structure, integrated new content, and refreshed the design using brand-specific colors. The result: a modern, clean, high-traffic site that strengthens brand identity.
