About Me

From the classroom to learning design

I’m an Instructional Designer with a background in higher education and a passion for designing learning experiences that make complex information easier to understand and apply.

Before moving into Instructional Design, I spent several years teaching in higher education. I enjoyed teaching, but I realized I was more interested in designing the learning experience than simply delivering the lesson.

My engineering degree gave me an analytical way of breaking problems down; the classroom taught me how people actually learn. Today, I design eLearning courses, training materials, videos, job aids, and learning programs, bringing together instructional strategy, visual design, and technology to create purposeful learning experiences.

My goal is simple: make learning clear, useful, and human.

Designing With Purpose

“Effective learning isn't just about delivering information. It's about creating the right experience around it.”

Learner-Centered

Design around the learner's needs, context, and experience.

Purposeful Design

Use visuals, interactions, and media when they support the learning, not simply because they're available.

Clarity Over Complexity

Organize information so learners can focus on what matters without unnecessary cognitive load.
