Heya, I’m Ed.
I create concise and well-thought-out learning solutions that support individual & business growth.
Featured Project
A video-based drill aid designed to support coaches on the pool deck.
This project was created to help SF Tsunami coaches provide the best swimming drills for their swimmers to practice in the pool, with the goal of increasing engagement and retaining members.

A Bit About Me
Who am I: I’m Ed, originally from Southern California and now living in San Francisco. I am driven by a strong desire for personal, professional, and emotional growth. My teaching experience has deepened my understanding of how people learn, allowing me to grow while helping others succeed, which brings me great fulfillment.
My why: I am driven by a relentless desire to become the best version of myself, constantly seeking opportunities for growth. Developing high-quality learning solutions fuels my passion for self-improvement. While I’m dedicated to supporting others, my primary focus is on refining my skills to achieve the highest level of impact. Embracing discomfort and stepping into unfamiliar territory pushes me to adapt, learn, and evolve.
My skills: My analytical skills are a key asset in designing effective learning solutions. By thinking critically and deeply about situations, people, and challenges, I’m able to produce clear, methodical results. Paired with my strong ability to communicate ideas effectively, this skill set makes me well-suited for collaborative roles like instructional design.
What I love: As a triathlete, I'm constantly moving—whether it's swimming, cycling, or running around the city. Staying active is vital to my well-being. I'm also deeply involved in my community, raising thousands of dollars each year for the SF AIDS Foundation. When I'm not training or fundraising, you'll find me learning languages like Japanese and Portuguese, thanks to Duolingo. Weekends are for refueling with family and friends over good food and, of course, indulging in one of my favorite activities: napping!
