Summary: I created instructor-led training materials using Keynote and Canva on macOS, then converted them to PowerPoint and Word for Windows OS.
Challenge: The task required creating formal, professionally-styled instructor-led training materials for a course originally presented in a comic book format.
Solution: I referred the comic-book style of the eLearning materials by incorporating layered images, while formalizing the slides, facilitator guide, and participant guides to create a cohesive design with a more professional tone for the instructor-led materials.
Results: The slides were provided in formats compatible with both macOS and Windows OS, ensuring a smooth adoption process for all trainers.

Summary: A comprehensive resource guide for a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offered by the University of Pennsylvania on Coursera, containing all references mentioned in the video lectures, was published on SlideShare, an online slide-hosting service owned by LinkedIn.
Challenge: In the video lectures, learners could see links to books, articles, videos, and other resources. However, the links were not interactive, requiring learners to manually type them into their browser's URL bar.
Solution: I created a reference document that includes a list of all the links mentioned in the video lectures to support further independent learning.
Results: The resource guide has been one of the most upvoted posts on the Coursera Gamification Course Forum since its publication in 2017.
Learning Community Logo
Logo Rationale [.pdf, 262 KB]
Development Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Year: 2023
Development Time: 20 hours
Responsibilities: Visual Design, Copywriting, Branding
Client: Genuity
Collaborators: Independent work
Summary: A logo and tagline for a company, to be used across the website, educational content, and marketing materials.
Challenge: The company supports a community of patients with rare diseases, especially those with genetic disorders. The name "Genuity" combines "genetic" and "community," reflecting the authentic connections among patients on the platform, which the logo should capture.
Solution: The logo used letters with missing parts to represent the absent chromosomes linked to genetic disorders within the community. Despite their imperfections, the letters formed an organically beautiful design, symbolizing the diverse genetic makeup and unity of this unique patient community.
Results: The logo integrated the themes of genetics and community, effectively capturing and reflecting the brand's identity and mission. I also created a powerful tagline for the learning community.
