Our Team

Our Team

We believe that the hallmark of innovation and effective transformation is great teamwork. Together, we are a dynamic team of educators, researchers, designers, developers, technologists, and writers who value community, connection, and a people-first culture that fosters equity, diversity, and inclusion.

 

Our work is bolstered by systems thinking, human-centred design, innovation, and other methods that require stretching beyond conventional solutions to accomplish more relevant and engaging experiences for our diverse learning communities.

We know that we won’t always get it right the first time. We’re ok with that. Our processes include iterative design cycles aimed at continuous improvement. To us, our failures are learning opportunities. We promise to share often and as authentically as possible. So visit us often! We like having you around.

Meet our Team Members

While technically we’re divided into more specialized teams and departments, we like to think of ourselves as one big, multidisciplinary team with experts of all kinds, who work together to produce and support meaningful and engaging learning experiences.
