Tactile Technologies
Tactile Technologies is a curriculum product that introduces learners to 3D printing technologies and accessibility principles. Modules and interactive, in-person workshops help learners gain the skills needed to transform visual media into a 3D learning experience.
Participants choose their media (usually a children's book), adapt the story into 3D, design/edit 3D models, and create a tactile product. Tactile Technologies updated an aging curriculum and offered a new, project-based learning experience for practicing accessibility in educational environments.

Hi, I'm Shannon.

For me, learning is about curious collaboration -
asking questions, analyzing data, and exploring possibilities.
I design engaging, data-driven learning experiences.
What kind of projects can we build together?

I'm a designer and educator who loves to create meaningful learning experiences with a focus on accessible, user-centered design. As an instructional designer, I work with subject matter experts, craft learning objectives, write content, and deliver projects that are interactive and effective.
As an educator, I am one of the experts. My research into writing and communication technologies helps me find the best ways to package information so that users have a memorable, motivational learning experience.
With over twelve years experience and a diverse background in teaching, technology, and project management, I can help you build a great product that best fits your learning needs.
