Growth Mindset
A live learning session I designed and facilitated, helping people recognize fixed and growth mindsets and practice reframing their own thinking.
About this project
The challenge. I created this learning experience as part of my interview process for Paradox. I wanted to do more than talk about how I approach learning design, I wanted to show it. I chose growth mindset because it's easy to understand in theory, but harder to recognize and apply in our own thinking.
My approach. I developed the experience from beginning to end: researching the topic, defining learning objectives, designing the presentation and participant materials, creating the activities, and facilitating the session live. Learners explored fixed and growth mindsets, practiced reframing limiting thoughts, and used the GROW model to create a goal. I also included assessments to gather information about learners' starting perspectives and their knowledge, confidence, and intended application afterward.
The result. I presented the experience live as part of my interview process, and went on to join Paradox in a Learning & Development role.

API & Integrations Bootcamp
A technical bootcamp for computer science students, built by learning the content alongside the SME and translating it into hands-on practice.
About this project
The challenge. At Paradox, I was responsible for developing an API and Integrations Bootcamp for computer science students who were potential new hires. Integrations were outside my own technical expertise, so successful design depended on a strong partnership with someone who understood the work deeply.
My approach. I partnered closely with the Director of Integrations to understand his team's work and what someone entering an integrations role would need to know. I translated those technical concepts into realistic examples and hands-on practice, including opportunities for learners to work with Twilio.
The result. The bootcamp received positive feedback from participants, and four students went on to become employees at Paradox.
