Inclusive Learning Design
I design learning tools that actually work. My sole focus is to keep in mind people who learn differently. When I first started making e-learning content, I didn’t know I had ADHD. But even then, I found myself asking: Why is this so hard to follow? Why is everything so vague? Why does no one just explain it properly? Why are things not simple, clear and structured?
What I didn’t know at the time was that I was already designing for neurodivergent learners in mind, because I was one.
Many people with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or other learning disabilities feel embarrassed, scared, or anxious to ask for more help, so struggle in silence, like I have many times. Most importantly, when the content is vague, overly complex, or poorly structured, it doesn’t just confuse us, it makes us feel like we’re the problem. We see others getting on fine, then we believe we’re the problem, which further excavates our struggles.
That’s why I now build with compassion, empathy and understanding. Every tool I make is designed to remove friction, reduce confusion and make sure learners don’t feel left behind.
- Clear, structured sections that are easy to follow
- Both video and written formats, especially for hands-on roles like carers and trainers
- Simple, human language, no jargon or fluff
- Everything in one simple and easy to access place
When you design for neurodivergent and disabled users first, you make learning easier for everyone. When the learning content does the groundwork, teachers are free to show their full personality, diving deeper, showing new ideas allowing learners to gain new insights, read more around the subject and this helps prevent teachers having to repeat the same basics over and over again.
My mission is simple: make learning feel doable, empowering, and most important of all, enjoyable.
Selected Learning Projects
Carer Training Platform
A digital onboarding tool with video demos and written instructions. Previously, carers had to scroll back through group chats to find this info. Now, it’s all in one place, accessible, searchable, and mobile-friendly.
Skills used: Instructional design, video delivery, UI, UX, accessibility-first layout
Holly’s Rota
An App to help a care team manage shifts and pass on notes. While not a traditional learning tool, it was designed to reduce cognitive load and replace messy chat threads with clear, readable updates.
Skills used: Problem-solving, communication design, UX, UI
Teaching Certificate
I hold a Level 3 Award in Education and Training, which gave me foundational knowledge in lesson planning, adult learning theory, and inclusive delivery.
