Learning & Program Designer

I turn educational ideas into curriculum, programs, and tools that people can actually use.

For more than twenty years, I’ve designed learning in classrooms, schools, and district programs. I stay close to the work: writing curriculum, prototyping learning experiences, designing tools, and solving the practical problems that determine whether a good idea actually works.

My work draws on curriculum and assessment, professional learning, implementation, organizational design, and AI — depending on what the problem requires.

Different forms, same kind of design work.

Sometimes the right answer is a curriculum. Sometimes it’s a professional-learning experience, a tool, a framework, or a system. What connects the work is translating educational thinking into something concrete enough to use, test, and improve.

About My Work

Twenty years, one kind of work: making educational ideas concrete.

Teacher, instructional coach, school leader, district program designer, consultant. The roles changed, but I kept gravitating toward the same part of the work: figuring out what to make, building it, trying it with real people, and improving it from what I learned.

Sometimes that meant a lesson or rubric. Sometimes it meant a professional-learning program, handbook, or district framework. I like being close enough to the work to understand the problem deeply — and hands-on enough to make something that solves it.

Let's Connect

I’m looking for senior learning, curriculum, and program design roles where I can stay close to the work — writing, prototyping, designing tools, solving design problems, and thought-partnering with others.
