My name is Sabrina Cervantes Villa.

I am interested in the way that well-designed, human-centered modes of learning can increase the sense of self-efficacy for learners of all ages. This has led me to involvement with several different organizations and projects - ranging from focused K-12 environments to international corporate settings.

I am a recent graduate from the Human Systems Engineering program at Arizona State University, a discipline that emphasizes humans’ needs in larger systems. In my case, I design for educational systems.

The collection of works on this site include coursework in addition to projects completed in the various positions I’ve held. I am now applying these skills on Align Technology’s Global Learning Experience team as a Human-Centered Design Specialist where I create tailored learning experiences for subsets of our 23,000 employees.
