My Process

Accessibility-First Learning Design | AI-Supported Workflows

I am a learning designer focused on creating accessible, equitable digital learning experiences across higher education and professional learning contexts.

​

My work spans instructional design, curriculum development, and project management, with experience in tools such as Canvas LMS, Articulate Rise, and multimedia learning design.

Why I Design This Way

Through my academic and professional work, I have seen how inaccessible digital design - such as unclear navigation, poor contrast, missing captions, or inaccessible documents - can prevent learners from fully participating.

 

These experiences shape my approach:

Accessibility is not an add-on. It is the starting point.

 

I approach artificial intelligence as a design partner, using it to support accessibility, clarity, and efficiency while maintaining human-centered decision-making.

How I Work

My design process is structured, reflective, and centered on accessibility from start to finish.

1

Understand the Context

I begin by identifying:

​

  • learner needs and goals

  • potential accessibility barriers

  • levels of technological familiarity

  • cognitive and emotional considerations

2

Structure for Clarity

Before visual design begins, I focus on:

​

  • clear learning objectives

  • logical content organization

  • predictable navigation patterns

  • reducing cognitive load

Design for Accessibility

Accessibility is embedded throughout:

​

  • applying UDL principles

  • designing with high contrast and readable typography

  • ensuring captions, transcripts, and alt text

  • creating accessible documents and multimedia

Use AI to Support Design

AI supports my workflow by helping:

​

  • draft alt text and transcripts

  • improve clarity and readability

  • identify gaps or ambiguities

  • support iterative revisions

​

All outputs are reviewed to ensure accuracy and inclusivity.

5

Reflect and Iterate

I document decisions, evaluate outcomes, and refine future designs based on:

​

  • what worked well

  • where learners may struggle

  • opportunities for improvement
