PHILOSOPHY

Learning is active construction. I architect experiences and systems where complex ideas become tangible through immersive interaction.

SIMULATION & PLAY

Compressing years of experience into hours of practice through games, simulations, and decision scenarios that make consequences tangible.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Designing platforms that democratize access—from offline-first learning systems to faculty development frameworks—meeting learners where they are.

COGNITIVE CRAFT

Building tools that make thinking visible—assessment systems that reveal teaching styles, games that train fallacy detection, workshops that transform theory into practice.
