Build the room where people do their best work.

I work with schools, districts and organizations that want their students and teams to do more than they think they can. I design the courses, experiences and training that make that happen, then hand them over in a form your team can run without me.

Curriculum Design

Who it's for: Schools, districts and organizations writing or rebuilding curriculum in any subject, from a single unit to a full course or program of study.
What you get: A course or unit map aligned to your standards; project-based units and project briefs; rubrics that measure the work students actually do; a teacher guide written so a new teacher can run it on day one.
Time to deliver: 6 to 12 weeks for a full course. About two weeks for a single unit or a curriculum review.

Case study: Atkins Game Design program

Program and Event Development

Who it's for: Districts, nonprofits and community groups that want a game jam, a student competition or an industry mentor network.
What you get: A program model and event format; a volunteer and mentor structure; a partner outreach plan; support through your first event.
Time to deliver: 3 to 6 months of planning before a first event, with support through the event itself.

Case study: Camel City Game Jam

Professional Development and Workshops

Who it's for: Schools, districts, conferences and companies that want training people actually use.
What you get: A workshop designed around your group; the materials and worksheets to keep using afterward; a follow-up resource set.
Format: A single half-day or full-day session, or a series of sessions across a semester.

How it works

Meet. We start with your team: who they are, what they need, and what isn't working yet.
Scope. I send a short written plan covering what we'll build, who's involved, the timeline and the cost.
Build and playtest. We build it with your team, try it in the room, and revise until it works.
Hand off. You get everything in a form your team can run and keep improving on their own.

Every project starts with a conversation.
