Ruihan (Lucy) Cao

Instructional Designer

I’m Lucy Cao, an instructional designer with a passion for transforming educational experiences through innovative technology and thoughtful design.

With a background in psychology and a deep interest in how people learn, I focus on creating interactive, learner-centered solutions that drive engagement and understanding. I thrive on collaborating with educators, researchers, and stakeholders to design meaningful learning environments that cater to diverse audiences. My approach is rooted in empathy, always aiming to deliver solutions that are not only effective but also accessible and intuitive. Whether through course design, instructional materials, or digital tools, I am committed to enhancing the learning experience for every student.
