Hi! I'm Aina,
a bilingual award-winning Learning Systems Architect and Product Designer
I’ve spent my career where human behavior, education, and design intersect: from physical classrooms to global enterprise teams. I specialize in designing multi-modal learning products and the infrastructure behind them.
My goal is simple: build experiences that make life easier for both the people creating them and the people using them.

Component Reusability Across Teams
Engineered an interactive, scenario-based eLearning module in Articulate Storyline 360 to optimize workforce onboarding. Designed behavioral readiness loops that increased employee consistency and confidence by 25% prior to live customer engagement.
Pivoted an ad-hoc course production process into a unified, organization-wide instructional infrastructure. Architected reusable component libraries and governance standards that slashed future development cycles by 70% while ensuring strict WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility by design.
Directed the end-to-end Learning products strategy for a comprehensive blended learning platform. Translated learner research into a scalable curriculum (self-paced modules, facilitator guides, and job aids) that drove a 25% increase in pilot engagement and earned 3 international awards.
Future-Driven, Human-Focused
I design and lead learning solutions from discovery to delivery. I partner with stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts to translate business needs into clear, measurable outcomes.
I build modular, reusable learning systems that scale across teams, products, and institutions, bridging teams so nothing gets lost in handoff. Built to work across disciplines, time zones, and cultures.
I apply behavioral science and UX principles to build learning flows that match how people actually think and act under pressure. Less friction, higher retention, real-world execution.
I integrate AI where it adds systemic value, driving automated scenario generation, personalization, and operational efficiency. My focus is AI built into the architecture, not added as an afterthought.

"I had the pleasure of working with Aina on a complex, fast-moving project, and she led with such impressive focus, flexibility, and kindness. She is able to balance multiple strategic priorities, and help a team move forward in uncertainty. As a project manager in this capacity, she guided us content developers with patience and consistency- building strong relationships, listening deeply, and creating a sense of calm and clarity even when timelines are tight. Aina is thoughtful, organized, and detail-oriented-- and she delivers beautiful, clear, high-quality work without losing sight of the bigger picture. She's a true collaborator and a steady, positive force on any team."
