Hi, I’m Sweet Van Loan — an educator, instructional designer, program leader, creative technologist, and lifelong learner with 10+ years of experience helping people understand complex ideas, build new skills, and navigate change.
My work sits at the intersection of learning, technology, data, creativity, and accessibility.
I’ve designed curricula and eLearning, led youth and community programs, supported staff development, worked in software and data education, and explored how AI can make learning more useful and accessible without replacing critical thinking or human judgment.
I’m especially interested in building technology and learning experiences that are:
- Accessible
- Practical
- Inclusive
- Easy to understand
- Grounded in real human needs
- AI literacy and responsible AI use
- Instructional design and learning experience design
- Data analytics and data storytelling
- Python, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
- Accessible learning and inclusive UX
- Human-centered technology
- EdTech and workforce learning
- AI tools for education, training, and everyday problem-solving
Exploring how AI can support education, workforce development, instructional design, and professional learning while keeping ethics, accessibility, comprehension, and human judgment at the center.
Designing engaging learning experiences using tools and frameworks including Articulate Rise, Storyline, Canvas, ADDIE, Bloom’s Taxonomy, microlearning, scenario-based learning, and gamification.
Using data analysis, visualization, SQL, Python, and storytelling to turn information into insights people can actually use.
Creating learning and technology experiences with accessibility, inclusion, usability, and real-world learners in mind.
Bringing years of experience in program management, staff development, community engagement, curriculum development, operations, and creative problem-solving into technology-focused work.

More projects, experiments, case studies, and learning resources are coming here as I continue building at the intersection of technology and education.
I’m also a published author, playwright, actor, comedian, educator, and creative nerd who believes technical knowledge becomes much more powerful when people can actually understand and use it.
I like solving messy problems, asking too many questions, breaking things to figure out how they work, and translating complicated ideas into something that clicks.
