I SPECIALIZE IN CREATING CUSTOM VIRTUAL LEARNING SOLUTIONS.
My goal is to bring all the pieces together — your content, processes and goals, with the visual identity, technology and infrastructure needed for your platform. Whether you want to explore a strategy, implement a new system or build employee knowledge on a subject, I will work together with you to build engaging and interactive learning experiences.
eLearning
My approach to eLearning is behavior-based. I’ll review your content and determine exactly what it is that your learners need to be able to do as a result of the training. Using a scenario-based storytelling approach, I will take learners through the experience allowing them to practice the knowledge and skills that will result in behavior change.
mLearning
Creating a comfortable and flexible experience for learners on the go is a must. This is why I offer cross-device design, which allows your learners to access your custom made courses from just about any device, wherever they are. Ever wondered how far your training could reach? How about “anywhere you want.”
Development Tools
Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Evolve, VYOND and the Adobe suite of products are the primary tools used in designing and developing your custom solution. These tools allow me to output your course as desktop accessible, mobile accessible or responsive. Together, we can determine the right solution for your audience.

Sample Projects
CRAFTING CREATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
With the holiday season upon us, I thought it would be interesting to use an advent calendar as a learning experience. Most advent calendars focus on 24 days. Imagine using that concept to create 24 days of learning experiences for your audience! To spark your imagination, I’ve built a short interaction with just 6 days …LIVEN UP YOUR LEARNING WITH MICROLEARNING
Creating engaging, bite-sized lessons is a common ask of many clients. One way to do that quickly and effectively is by leveraging the microlearning theming inside of Articulate Rise. By streamlining the development approach, we can rapidly create a learning experience that captures learner interest, immerses them in the content and leaves them with a …LIVEN UP YOUR LEARNING WITH GOOD VISUAL DESIGN
Over the past few years, I’ve been working more on my creative and visual design skills. Knowing how to put together a good course from a content perspective is one thing, but knowing how to illustrate it and what little touches can be added that will immerse the learner into the material and evoke emotion …LIVEN UP YOUR LEARNING WITH CUSTOM CALLOUTS
Want to turn up your simulation or demo design a notch or two, try custom callouts! By default, most authoring tools will automatically add callouts to your project when you build it. This can appear to save you time, but it’s inevitable that you’ll need to edit and customize them to make them appear professional. …LIVEN UP YOUR LEARNING WITH BRANCHING SCENARIOS
Branching scenarios are a great way to engage learners in online content. Learners are presented with a scenario and then they can select responses that lead to specific outcomes. Good scenarios are based on real-world situations your learners will encounter. The choices presented to them should reflect real choices employees or customers have made in …LIVEN UP YOUR LEARNING WITH MOTION EFFECTS
In this video tutorial, you’ll explore a few tips and tricks for using Effects in Adobe Captivate to create motion on screen. Incorporating animation – especially when it’s meaningful to the story or illustrates a point – can increase your learner’s understanding and retention of the material.
