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.
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.
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.
