@aprilstrand
I design inclusive educational experiences using human-centered and universal design.
What I'm looking for
At Only7Seconds, I improved the accessibility and usability of a student digital journal through Canva mockups, inclusive curriculum revisions, and human-centered design.
I built a flexible digital structure for future updates and helped ensure non-readers and students with attention challenges could engage with the curriculum. My work focuses on making learning experiences supportive across diverse student backgrounds and personalities.
Alongside education-focused work, I've built customer service and youth-support experience at Starbucks and through childcare, communicating reliably with families and supporting children through educational play and homework.
