Expanding the Truth Before Reconciliation is an interactive e-learning course developed in collaboration with Unlearn and Indigenous educator Nick Bertrand. Through reflective storytelling and a timeline of truths, the module helps learners deepen their understanding of settler colonialism, racism, and the historic and ongoing oppression of Indigenous Peoples in the land now called Canada.
Participants explore unlearn designs as visual provocations, supported by narration, interactive questioning, and accessible resources. As the course designer, I worked on the visual layout, user experience, and animation of key elements to create a respectful, trauma-informed learning space. The course encourages further learning and reflection, emphasizing that reconciliation must begin with a full understanding of the truth.
A portion of each course sale supports the Geronimo’s Dream Project.
Character Expression Sheet – Nick Bertrand Avatar
As part of the Expanding the Truth Before Reconciliation e-course, I created a custom vector avatar of guest instructor Nick Bertrand. This expression sheet showcases a range of emotional states used to visually support Nick’s narration and bring empathy, clarity, and personality to the learning experience.
