Transforming complex ideas into engaging learning experiences

LEARNING EXPERIENCE DESIGNER • EDUCATOR • SYSTEMS BUILDER

Hey there,

I design learning that sticks. With a foundation in teaching, video production, and educational technology, I create experiences that turn knowledge into action.

Curriculum Development & Instructional Design
I build learning experiences from the ground up—from analyzing needs to designing modules, creating materials, and measuring impact. Whether corporate training, higher education, or vocational programs, I design with learner outcomes in mind.
Educational Technology & AI Integration
I leverage Notion for learning management systems, AI tools for personalized feedback and content generation, Moodle for course delivery, and Twine for interactive scenario-based learning. Technology serves the pedagogy, not the other way around.
Multimedia Learning Content
With 10+ years in video production, I create engaging learning content: explainer videos, interactive modules, and visual storytelling that makes complex concepts accessible. I handle everything from scripting to post-production.
Systems Thinking for Learning
I reverse-engineer how people learn, then build scalable systems that work. From learner tracking databases to automated feedback loops, I create infrastructure that lets educators focus on teaching.
Evidence-Based Approach
Grounded in second language acquisition theory and cognitive science, I apply research-backed principles to every design decision. My work balances pedagogical rigor with practical implementation.
Cross-Cultural Design
Fluent in English and French, with ties to Canada, France, and Brazil, I design learning that bridges cultures and communication styles. I understand how context shapes the learning experience.
Real Classroom Experience
I’ve taught 200+ students annually across business schools, art schools, and trade schools. This hands-on experience informs every learning solution I design—I know what works because I’ve tested it in real classrooms.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
As founder of a training company, I understand both the learning design and business sides. I create solutions that are pedagogically sound and operationally sustainable.

What Drives My Work

Turning Complexity into Clarity

I’m energized by the challenge of taking abstract concepts and making them accessible. Whether it’s explaining technical workflows to artists or teaching business English to engineers, I find the puzzle of effective knowledge transfer endlessly engaging.

Building Systems with Soul

I create learning infrastructure that scales without losing the human element. Databases that track progress, AI tools that provide personalized feedback, workflows that free educators to focus on relationships—technology should amplify human connection, not replace it.

Continuous Improvement

I apply an iterative approach to learning design. Prototype quickly, gather feedback, refine. Every cohort teaches me something new that improves the next iteration.

Learner-Centered Impact

The best measure of success is learner transformation. I’m motivated by creating experiences where people walk away thinking differently, working differently, or achieving goals they couldn’t before.

My Ideal Collaboration

I work best with organizations that invest in their people’s growth, value evidence-based approaches, and give designers the autonomy to innovate. Whether training teams, educational institutions, or L&D departments, I thrive where learning is seen as strategic, not transactional.
