About Yvonne Dripps
I leverage AI to create inclusive, learner-centered asynchronous and synchronous courses that engage learners, meet instructional goals, and deliver real results for participants and stakeholders. I enjoy supporting leaders and learners through dynamic asynchronous courses and using a variety of EdTech tools to design customized learning experiences. Whether it\'s online, blended, self-paced, or live, I aim to build flexible and impactful environments. With over 15 years of experience as an educator, I bring a collaborative and detail-oriented approach to analyzing needs, designing curriculum, evaluating assessments, and leveraging technology to make learning accessible and effective.
Experience
Digital Media Designer
Jan 2026 — Present
I founded and run an Etsy-based digital design studio called Joyful, which serves as an applied innovation lab for exploring AI in education, instructional design, and digital content creation.Through Joyful, I design templates, printable resources, SVG files, and visual assets using tools such as Canva, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Nano Banana. This work allows me to actively experiment with generative AI, prompt engineering, design thinking, digital workflow optimization, creative automation, and AI-assisted content development in a practical, hands-on environment.What began as a creative outlet has evolved into a sandbox for exploring emerging educational technology, AI literacy, visual communication, and human-centered design. By prototyping ideas in a real-world marketplace, I gain insight into user experience, rapid iteration, digital product development, and ethical AI integration.These experiences directly inform my professional practice as an educator. I apply what I learn about AI tools, digital creativity, entrepreneurship, media literacy, and innovation strategy to help students build future-ready skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and technology fluency.Joyful represents the intersection of EdTech innovation, creative experimentation, and applied AI integration — bridging classroom learning with real-world digital practice.
