Designing for Growth & for Good

Hi, I'm Audrey

Once upon a time, I thought I was destined for the corner office (spoiler: I was wrong).

I was working my way there, believe me! - 10 years ago I started as a receptionist at a company where, by my second week, I was already training others, and I loved it!

Fast forward a few years, and before stepping into Learning & Development, I found myself leading... oh, just a casual 134 retail stores for that same company!

In 2022, burnout hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess having a brain that needs three calendars, noise-canceling everything, and a whiteboard just to remember lunch made that kind of career unsustainable.

So I pivoted. I took what I loved most - learning, creativity, and helping others grow - and built a life I’m proud of.

What I Believe

Learning should do more than pass along information, it should empower people to take action, build confidence, and change their own stories.

I believe learning is one of the most powerful tools we have for growth, equity, and real-world change, whether that’s inside organizations, in local communities, or across entire movements.

Good learning isn’t just content. It’s connection, support, and opportunity wrapped into something people can actually use to make their lives better.

I see my work as part storytelling, part system design, and part advocacy because when learning is designed with care and intention, it can break down barriers, not reinforce them.

Better Together

If we want to revolutionize learning, we have to start by lifting each other up, sharing ideas, building better tools, and creating experiences that actually stick.

I want to share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) to help other designers feel more confident, creative, and connected.

I’m here to be part of that, and I’m excited to see what we can create together.
