Instructional Designer Learning Experience Designer AI Learning Solutions
I design learner-centered experiences that combine learning science, human-centered design, AI-enhanced development, and systems thinking to help people solve authentic problems and build lasting understanding.
Selected Work
Three flagship projects demonstrating how I analyze complex challenges, design human-centered solutions, manage delivery, and communicate instructional decisions through clear visual storytelling.
Performance Consulting • Organizational Learning
A strategic learning and performance solution designed to support responsible generative AI adoption while addressing employee uncertainty, inconsistent practices, and the need for stronger human judgment.
Game-Based Learning • Systems Thinking
A competitive instructional game that places learners in the role of junior systems analysts responsible for balancing energy demand, environmental impact, and strategic resource decisions.
Instructional Systems • Project Delivery
A comprehensive management plan translating a 20-hour eLearning initiative into an executable lifecycle of analysis, design, prototype development, production, quality assurance, pilot testing, risk control, and final delivery.
Design Philosophy
The strongest learning experiences do more than deliver information. They help learners recognize patterns, make better decisions, transfer knowledge into authentic situations, and continue improving after formal instruction ends.
Whether I am designing classroom instruction, AI-supported workplace learning, assessment systems, or educational games, I begin with the learner, build with evidence, and refine through evaluation.
“My work begins by identifying what feels complex and ends by designing a path that makes meaningful performance possible.”
My Approach
Effective learning emerges from the interaction of strong instructional strategy, thoughtful technology, authentic application, and respect for the people experiencing it.
I ground instructional decisions in cognitive science, motivation, memory, attention, self-regulation, assessment, and evidence-based learning principles.
Every project begins with understanding learners, performance expectations, emotional context, organizational needs, and the conditions surrounding authentic application.
I integrate generative AI to accelerate development, expand creativity, and support learning while preserving human judgment, ethical decision-making, and instructional quality.
From analysis and storyboarding through development and evaluation, I create experiences that encourage transfer, reflection, strategic thinking, and measurable improvement.
From Challenge to Solution
My process is structured enough to maintain alignment and flexible enough to respond to learners, evidence, feedback, and changing project conditions.
Understand the learners, context, performance gap, constraints, emotional conditions, and desired outcomes.
Align objectives, assessment, instructional strategy, technology, and authentic application.
Build prototypes, storyboards, media, interactions, and learning materials using the tools best suited to the need.
Gather evidence from learner performance, observation, feedback, usability, and instructional outcomes.
Improve the experience through purposeful iteration while preserving the elements already supporting learning.
Capabilities
A growing toolkit for analyzing learning needs, developing multimedia instruction, creating interactive experiences, and evaluating effectiveness.
Experience With Purpose
My transition into instructional design did not begin by leaving education behind. It began by examining what years of teaching had taught me about attention, motivation, feedback, emotion, assessment, and the many ways learners experience complexity.

Connecting classroom expertise with formal design models, research, multimedia learning, evaluation, and performance improvement.
Designing interactive systems that combine meaningful challenges, human judgment, feedback, authentic decision making, and emerging technologies.
Helping learners and organizations transform difficult ideas into understandable, usable, and meaningful performance.
Create Something Meaningful
Whether designing workplace training, classroom instruction, AI-supported learning, assessment systems, or game-based environments, I enjoy helping people solve meaningful problems through thoughtful instructional design.
