Hi there,
I'm Joelle McDonald
I am an unapologetic jack-of-all-trades and master of some. My broad skill base ranges from coding to user-experience research, teaching to rapid prototyping, and data storytelling to design.
It is safe to say I am most comfortable in discomfort. I avidly seek out whatever new skill is needed for whatever task lies ahead.
In my career, I hope to combine hands-on creation, joy-based learning for all ages, and critical, design, and systems thinking. I apply this toolkit to everything from citizen microplastics education and patient medical-regimen compliance to simplifying Microsoft Excel in the classroom.

Hey, that's me!
