Amplify Education
I have worked on various projects with this children’s educational company since 2018. They sell directly to schools, so teachers/parents/children may be familiar with them. Things will be posted 1-3 years behind when they were made.
All the work is finished in Adobe Illustrator (vector format).
K-5 Math 2023-24
K-5 Math is a departure from Middle & High School Math as it no longer follows a set style, and is up to the artist’s choice. I am currently under NDA
High School Math 2021-23
Groups of lessons are assigned various color palettes. The unifying “style” here, which I helped develop, is a method of shape-based vectoring with only straight lines for a more sophisticated look

PORTRAIT OF A TYRANT 2019
An interactive text story about the on-the-ground events leading up to the American Revolution. It’s meant as a six-week teaching curriculum unit. Students play as Briana Little, a fictional African-American teenager experiencing & affecting key events in six different locations, learning about the various grievances real people had, their living conditions, and details not found in textbooks. A project with Amplify and the Harvard University Education department.
