Welcome to my website, my name is Susan! I am a learning experience designer with a deep commitment to creating inclusive, and engaging learning programs. I hold a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Educational Technology at Concordia University in Montreal, Québec!
Keep exploring this website to learn more about me and to have a peek at some of my work.
Growing up surrounded by artists and designers, I developed a natural inclination to approach challenges with creativity, curiosity, and a design perspective. My experience as a Montessori teacher further shaped my learner-centered philosophy, ensuring that every learning experience is attractive, meaningful and designed to meet a range of diverse needs. Complementing this, my years as a professional ballerina nurtured a strong creative side, allowing me to blend artistry with practicality in my work. Together, these experiences have deeply influenced my thoughtful and innovative approach to instructional design.
My technical expertise includes proficiency in Rise and Articulate 360, and the full Adobe Suite, enabling me to create visually compelling and interactive learning materials. Take a look at my portfolio to learn more about my creative process, and to see samples of my work!
In my free time, I enjoy caring for my 7 pets—one standard poodle, five parakeets, and one lovebird—who bring joy and energy to my days. Feel free to explore my portfolio to see how my diverse experiences and skills come together to create impactful, educational designs!
