UX for Inclusive Learning
INSTRUCTIONAL WEB EXPERIENCE
As part of my graduate training in Instructional Design, I designed and developed a five-page dynamic website tailored for parents of twice-exceptional (2e) homeschoolers — children who are both gifted and have learning differences. The site provides accessible, emotionally resonant resources and guidance through curated blog content, animated visuals, original infographics, and multimedia storytelling.
This project demonstrates my ability to blend instructional sensitivity, UX design, and visual communication to create inclusive, emotionally intelligent learning spaces for a niche and underserved audience.

Design Notes & Rationale
-
The project’s primary goal was to create an emotionally supportive, intuitive digital environment for parents navigating the challenges of homeschooling neurodivergent children.
The scope included UX/UI design, instructional messaging, AI-generated image curation, infographic design, multimedia production, and web development. A complete learner-audience analysis guided tone and design, prioritizing warmth, validation, and accessibility.
The final product was built in three days with a $0 budget, requiring strategic selection of free or low-cost tools that maintained professional quality and emotional coherence.
-
The website’s visual and interactive design was built around calm, consistent, neurodivergent-friendly aesthetics and gentle interactivity to support cognitive flow.
UX/UI: Designed clear navigation and consistent layouts to minimize cognitive load.
Mood & Style: Chose a warm, muted color palette and clean typography to evoke safety and clarity.
AI-Generated Imagery: Curated and refined to represent authentic diversity and emotional nuance.
Infographics: Created in Canva to simplify educational processes for parents of 2e learners.
Animations: Used smooth scrolling and subtle motion cues to maintain attention without overstimulation.
Welcome Video: Produced in Adobe Express with ambient music and visual storytelling to build trust and empathy.
Outcomes
The completed site delivered an emotionally grounded, highly usable digital experience within a rapid production cycle. Despite tight constraints, the project achieved high visual quality, instructional clarity, and accessibility, earning positive feedback from parents and educators within the 2e community. The design serves as a model for how emotionally intelligent UX and instructional design can intersect to create inclusive, human-centered learning environments.
