Working with Me

I believe in the power of human-centered design and Universal Design for Learning. I also believe in the power of fostering strong working relationships with the teachers and the stakeholders I’m designing with and for. I’m empathetic, methodical, and organized.

Teacher Testimonials

All testimonials are sourced from an anonymous feedback form sent to teachers after they attend a program at the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium. All artwork is from thank you notes I’ve received from students over the years.

“Carolyn Taber was amazing! She was super passionate about her profession which was very obvious in the way she delivered the content and interacted with the students. She was excited about her insects, wore a smile on her face, used multiple teaching strategies, engaged with the kids, and gave them an awesome experience. She is a great asset to your organization and the science field!”
