你好/Hello/Bonjour
I’m Mary :)
As a Learning Experience Designer, I specialize in crafting equitable and accessible educational environments for all learners. With a foundation in industrial product design, I adeptly integrate design thinking methodologies into my approach to learning design.
Central to my philosophy is a commitment to empathy and user-centered design. I am passionate about delving into learning theories and applying them to address and resolve educational challenges.
I firmly believe in the transformative power of thoughtful learning design and am dedicated to advancing inclusion and accessibility through learning design.
