What is Learning Experience Design?

Learning Experience Design is the practice of intentionally designing holistic learning experiences that are effective, meaningful, and engaging by combining insights from instructional design, user experience design, psychology, and the arts. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on delivering information, LXD centers the learner’s journey—considering their needs, emotions, motivations, and context—while shaping environments, interactions, and narratives that lead to real learning impact.

I bring years of experience in both LXD and visual design skills, to create experiences that are human-centered, unique, and meaningful.
