About

LS

I design and build interactive learning experiences that drive measurable outcomes. My work focuses on scenario-based learning, meaningful feedback loops, and learner-centered evaluation — combining instructional design expertise with hands-on development skills.

Every project I create is grounded in evidence-based practice: clear learning objectives, authentic assessments, and iterative design. I bring ideas to life as fully functional prototypes — not just wireframes — so stakeholders can experience the learning before it ships.

Tools I work with include React, TypeScript, Astro, and modern web frameworks — applied in service of learning, not technology for its own sake.
