Design. Teach. Innovate.

NICE TO MEET YOU — I’M DAVID

Instructional Designer, Special Education Leader & Learning Technologist

I design learning that works for every learner. For more than 17 years I’ve built learning experiences across K-12 and adult education, from Canvas courses and Articulate 360 / Rise e-learning to professional development for educators. I lead an 18-person special education department, so accessibility and UDL aren’t add-ons in my work. They’re where every design starts.

I anchor every design in proven frameworks (UDL, Community of Inquiry, Kirkpatrick) and the right technology, so courses meet learners exactly where they are.
