Wilderness Explorers, Sea Turtle Rescue App
Disney Education Productions wanted to develop an interactive educational experience that would teach children 8-12 about sea turtle life cycles. Children were encouraged to become Wilderness Explorers (based on Pixar's movie, "UP") and advocates of sea turtles (inspired by Crush from Finding Nemo). I worked with internal stakeholders to develop the overall concept, user-experience, and the final pitch which I co-presented with my client to MacArthur Foundation. The prize was an education grant funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which we won.

The experience is meant to be COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) compliant and controlled by an adult such as a parent, teacher, or a scout troop leader
Disney English, Remote Digital Learning
The interactive remote learning program introduced non-English speaking students to the world of Disney through conversation English lessons. Using Disney's approach to learning and storytelling, students learned language skills in an inviting and engaging way by engaging with memorable characters. My work included creating inspirational art for the interface, new "sprite" characters and suggested gameplay for internal stakeholders to present to key decision makers.
The American Presidents,
Presidential Campaign Creator Enhancement
Presidential Campaign Creator Enhancement
Already a popular and widely used classroom tool, The American Presidents app makes learning history fun and engaging. Working with Disney Education's product development team, my team and I worked on developing the UX strategy and creative concept for a campaign creator that would allow students to experience all the exciting ups and downs associated with a modern Presidential campaign.
