Boring learning? Not on my watch.
I design English coaching and learning experiences that actually work for the people who need them most. Empathy first. Evidence always. Results you can see.
Featured Research & Design Case Study

The Parlour Method 🍦
Every scoop starts here. The same five-stage process, flavoured to fit your project.
Sound familiar?
“We jumped straight to building and then redesigned everything three weeks in because we never understood the actual person.”
Before a single slide gets made I dig into who the learner actually is. Welcome forms, informal interviews, and direct conversation to gather real empathy data, not assumptions. Brown (2008) grounds this stage: design thinking begins with deep empathy for the user. Liedtka and Ogilvie's What is question maps here: mapping current reality before imagining alternatives. The learner's lived experience is the brief.
