I came to learning design from two places that don’t usually overlap: teaching and interactive design. The teaching showed me how people actually learn. Building apps, games, and VR taught me how to keep them from clicking away.
My path here wasn’t a straight line. I trained as a petroleum engineer in Nigeria, did a master’s in geophysics, and then followed the part of the work I loved most (making complex things understandable) into a master’s in Visualization and a PhD in Engineering Education at Texas A&M. Along the way I taught hundreds of first-year engineering students, built educational games and VR training, and kept making art on the side.
What ties it together is a single instinct: take something hard, understand it deeply, and design the clearest possible path for someone else to understand it too. That’s instructional design, and it’s also just how I think.
I’m equally happy starting from a blank page or being handed a messy deck and turning it into something polished that people will actually finish. If you’re working on learning, training, or EdTech, I’d love to talk.
