Other projects
A closer look at range beyond client work: concept pieces, coursework, and personal projects across different subjects, formats, and tools.
Designing a Digital Learning Resource for Museum Visitors
Self-directed, completed as coursework
Challenge: Museum visitors without an art history background often feel intimidated engaging with what they're seeing. Using Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama as a case, the goal was designing an accessible, self-guided way to give any visitor real insight into the piece, without requiring prior knowledge or a docent-led tour.
My Approach: Starting from visitor research (an empathy map and problem-definition exercise), I identified that visitors consistently wanted story and context, but wouldn't engage past the first few seconds if it wasn't immediately offered. I built a content storyboard around that insight: highlighting key themes and technique in accessible language, curating further resources, and organizing everything into a single, visually clear page.
Solution: A one-page digital learning resource, designed for QR-code access on-site, intended to turn a single painting into a self-guided learning moment for visitors of any background.
Designing an Online Lesson from an NPR Segment
Class project, developed with a team and adopted by a real client
Challenge: A startup specializing in online education resources needed an engaging online lesson for middle school students (Grades 6–8) and their teachers, built around a real NPR segment. The lesson needed to work for both audiences at once: accessible and engaging for students, genuinely easy for a teacher to pick up and run with no extra prep.
My Approach: Working as part of a team of instructional designers, we began with the storyboard structuring how the lesson would flow: listening comprehension questions to reinforce the segment's key points, discussion prompts to drive real classroom dialogue, and a teacher's guide designed to close the gap between "here's a great resource" and "here's something I can actually teach tomorrow."
Solution: An interactive online lesson pairing student-facing content with a full teacher's guide, discussion prompts, and extension resources. The client accepted the project, and as of last year, it was published.
Creating an Online Introductory Guide to Bosnia and Herzegovina
Self-directed, completed as coursework
Challenge: Tourists, students, and the general public needed an accessible, self-paced way to learn about Bosnia and Herzegovina, its history, culture, language, and practical travel realities, in a format that worked for someone starting with no background knowledge.
My Approach: I built an interactive course in Articulate 360, structuring content around history and geography, cultural traditions and language, and practical travel scenarios like navigating a market or ordering food. I used quizzes and real-world scenarios throughout to keep the learning applied rather than purely informational, and multimedia (video, audio) to keep a topic that could feel like a lecture actually engaging.
Solution: A self-paced course covering history, culture, language basics, and practical travel guidance, demonstrating real fluency with Articulate 360 as a development tool.
