Welcome to my digital record of learning experiences as I begin my journey to a Master’s in Learning Design and Technology aboard the UMGC Discovery 25.  

For over 18 years, I’ve helped advance the mission of businesses and nonprofits through identity, promotional, website, and publication design. Branding is a lot like space exploration—venturing into uncharted territories of human perception in hopes of making a lasting impact. In 2019, I was invited to teach Interactive Media Production CTE, a secondary curriculum designed to prepare students for a career in the creative industry. That experience changed my life and led to a career pivot from executing design to creative coaching: preparing student learners in grades 6–12 for a creative career; advising 6–12 design educators; helping young creative professionals thrive; and teaching solopreneurs how to brand for success. My learning journey is fueled by curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration.
