Hi, I’m Emily.

I design learning that simplifies the complex — helping people develop skills, adopt processes, and apply them with confidence.

Open to remote opportunities in corporate L&D and EdTech.

Quick overview

I design learning experiences that are structured, engaging, and grounded in how people actually learn. With experience across SaaS, corporate enablement, and K-12 education, I create learner-centered programs and materials that strengthen performance, support adoption of new skills, systems and workflows, and help people feel confident navigating change.

What I bring

With 3+ years of corporate L&D experience combined with nearly a decade in the education space, I specialize in translating complex technical concepts into clear, structured learning that drives adoption and real performance outcomes. Most recently, I led end-to-end design of certification programs and components, blended learning experiences, and scalable customer onboarding solutions for global audiences.

Design philosophy

I design with clarity first — structured, learner-centered content supports real-world application and helps people actually use what they've learned.
