Every guide has an origin story.
I’ve always believed learning should feel exciting, personal, and deeply human.
It probably started earlier than I realize. I grew up in my mom’s daycare, always the oldest, always the one explaining, demonstrating, and helping others figure things out. Teaching wasn’t something I chose. It was just who I was.
I have family members with dyslexia. My Mom and brother are colorblind. Watching people I love navigate a world not designed for them taught me something I’ve never forgotten; great design works for everyone, or it isn’t finished yet.
Those two things, a natural instinct to help people grow and a deep commitment to designing for the full range of human experience, are at the core of everything I build.
My top strengths are Strategy, Empathy, Individualization, Developer, and Woo. I see potential before people see it themselves. I find the through line in complex problems. And I genuinely love the moment an idea clicks into a solution. That lightbulb moment. The excitement of watching something small take root and grow.
This isn’t just what I do. It’s what I was made for.
I started The Curiosity Guide to partner with organizations who believe learning can change things, and to build experiences worthy of that belief.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to connect.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in learning science, neuroscience, and adult learning theory. It is guided by a belief that people learn best when they feel seen, supported, and challenged in the right ways.
Start with curiosity, not assumptions.
Every project begins with questions. What does the learner actually need? What does success look like in the real world? What’s getting in the way? The answers shape everything that comes after.
Strategy and design belong together.
The best learning solutions happen when you understand the problem deeply before you build anything. I bring both lenses to every engagement.
Design for everyone.
Accessibility is a starting point, not a finishing touch. Every experience I create is built to work across different learning needs, abilities, and contexts, because great design doesn’t leave people behind.
Design for humans, not just outcomes.
Learning that sticks has to feel relevant, emotionally resonant, and connected to real life. I design with the whole person in mind; not just the performance gap on paper.
Build for the conditions that actually exist.
Perfect conditions are rare. Great learning isn’t about ideal circumstances — it’s about creating something resilient enough to work in the real world.
