I am an educator and curriculum-focused instructional designer with a decade of instructional experience, including nine years in Japanese public school settings. My work centers on designing classroom-ready lessons and learning materials that support classroom teachers, integrating language support, cultural authenticity, and clear instructional intent.
Drawing on long-term classroom practice, I develop curriculum and instructional sequences that are practical, adaptable, and aligned with existing classroom goals and structures.
My instructional approach is further informed by a strong background in visual design and typography. Rather than treating visuals as decoration, I design clear visual systems that reduce cognitive load and enhance learner engagement.
