Rapid Safety Recognition in Massage Therapy Practice

This project is a performance support system designed to help massage therapy learners quickly recognize anatomical endangerment sites during hands-on practice. Instead of relying on recall-based safety training, the solution uses visual job aids and mobile-friendly references that function directly in the flow of work. The design prioritizes recognition, reduced cognitive load, and just-in-time decision support to prevent high-risk clinical errors. It is intended for use in labs, student clinics, and live treatment sessions.

Everyday Plant‑Based Decisions

This project is a lifestyle performance support system designed to help adults make consistent plant-based food choices in everyday contexts such as grocery shopping, meal planning, and dining out. Rather than treating nutrition as a knowledge problem, the design reframes eating as a series of in-the-moment decisions supported by lightweight job aids and microlearning tools. The solution prioritizes recognition, reduced cognitive load, and clear next-step guidance to prevent decision fatigue and default choices. Tools are modular and context-specific, allowing learners to engage only with what is immediately relevant.

Return-to-Play Decision Support Kit

A performance support system that helps athletes, coaches, and clinicians make safer return-to-play decisions under real-world pressure. The microlearning kit uses visual job aids to support symptom interpretation, readiness assessment, and recovery behavior directly within training and rehabilitation workflows, reducing cognitive load and re-injury risk during high-stakes progression decisions.
