Senior Learning Experience Designer & Systems Thinker
I design human-centered training systems, interactive simulations, and operational frameworks that turn complex corporate processes into intuitive practice teams master in days, not weeks.
Design Philosophy: Nobody ever mastered their craft by clicking through a boring slide deck. Real behavioral change happens when learning is built around realistic decision scenarios, cognitive load control, and safe-to-fail practice.

02 // THE PLAYABLE SIMULATION DECK • 3 LIVE SCENARIOS
The Best Way to Understand How People Learn is to Try It Yourself.
If I claim to know adult psychology and how memory works, why would I ask you to just read static bullet points? Real learning happens when you put your hands on the controls. Jump into 3 live, playable training scenarios I developed: from a fast-paced lunchtime kitchen rush to a delicate workplace conversation and mobile policy gamification. See for yourself how safe practice turns nervous guesswork into instant confidence.
Before AI Existed, I Solved 300+ Unindexed SOPs by Engineering Human Cognition.
Today, anyone can prompt an AI to summarize a messy document. But back in 2017 to 2019, there was no Generative AI, no vector embeddings, and no automated agents. Frontline teams were drowning in 200-page PDF manuals. Agents spent 12 to 15 painful minutes searching for simple policy rules during live calls. Over 40% of customer issues were escalated to supervisors, creating immense operational burnout and customer frustration.
This wasn't a problem that needed more classroom lectures. It required deep cognitive ergonomics: understanding how human working memory behaves under high stress, and hand-auditing 300+ legacy procedures into instant, 3-second decision cards.
01. THE CHAOSPre-2017 Reality
The 200-Page PDF Manual Cemetery
Over 300+ outdated, unindexed SOPs scattered across wikis and local folders. When a customer asked a specific question, frontline staff panicked, losing 15 minutes searching text blocks while hold times skyrocketed.
Result: 40%+ unnecessary supervisor escalations.
02. THE PSYCHOLOGYCognitive Ergonomics
Working Memory Under Live Fire
Adult psychology proves humans under customer stress cannot process dense legalistic paragraphs. Working memory chokes. The fix wasn't "more training". It was eliminating retrieval friction at the point of action.
Insight: Information must be structured as binary decision paths.
03. THE HANDCRAFTED BUILDSingle Source of Truth
Instant 3-Second Action Cards
Audited and refactored all 300+ procedures into modular, searchable decision cards. Built an intuitive taxonomy and sub-second JavaScript search engine enabling staff to find verified answers in 3 clicks.
Outcome: Slashed escalations by 40% and saved 8 min per call.
