About

Who I am: I am a learning strategist and instructional designer with 8+ years of experience working across every scale of organization, from small businesses and learning institutions to large enterprises. That range has sharpened how I think. I know how to build with limited resources, how to design for complexity, and how to move fast when the stakes are real.

I build learning solutions that fit the organization's needs and scale with it. E-learning courses, videos, job aids, playbooks, learning guides, one-pagers, and presenter materials. Curriculum frameworks. Assessment ecosystems tied to real performance metrics, org-aligned OKRs, and business partner KPIs. I create solutions that are designed to create seamless client and customer experience. I regularly step into the space between roles when the problem is too complex for a single lane, and I have worked on projects across the full cycle, from scoping gaps and friction points to ideation to execution, in varying capacities and team structures.

My work has reached 26,000+ associates and leaders. I have mentored 40+ designers, reviewed 100+ portfolios, and curated a weekly resource library for a community of 80+ learning professionals because growing others is part of how I work, not separate from it.

My process: I design with one belief: learning should reduce friction, not create it.

My process aligns with the lean startup method: build, measure, learn. I start with the person, not the content, talking to users, learners, and stakeholders to understand how they actually think, work, and get stuck. I build solutions that fit the moment, pulling from user research, information architecture, content strategy, and UX patterns depending on what the problem needs. Then I measure. xAPI tracking, Qualtrics, and analytics tell me what is landing and what is not. That data drives the next iteration. The role I play shifts with the project. Sometimes I am the researcher, sometimes the designer, sometimes the strategist. Usually, some combination of all three.

How I work: Cross-functional. Evidence-based. Fast.

I build authentic relationships with SMEs, stakeholders, product teams, and business partners, translating complex technical content into learning that practitioners actually trust. I work in Rise 360, Storyline 360, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Products, and Camtasia to create learning solutions and integrate within LMS environments or internal servers tracked with xAPI. I also co-manage internal newsletter programs for distinct professional audiences, handling content strategy, editorial themes, and monthly cadences.

What is harder to find: Technical depth in xAPI, data analytics, and Qualtrics paired with instructional design and UX research. I do not just design content. I help build the infrastructure that tells you if it is working and what to do when it is not.

What we can accomplish: At the heart of everything I build is clarity, structure, and humanity. When content, UX, and learning design work together, people don't just understand. They act.

What I'm currently exploring: I integrate Copilot into my daily design workflow and independently explore Claude, agentic AI, and automation paths to stay ahead of where the field is going. I am building toward AI-powered learning experiences, not just AI-assisted content, and experimenting with agentic workflows, chatbots, and MVP tools using Lovable, Vercel, and Zapier.

I am drawn to fast-moving, technically complex environments where the stakes of good learning design are real.

Anything, everything, and more. I'm always game for a challenge. Whether it's signing up for a casual 117-mile race or taming a wild river (no big deal, right?). Honestly, my fiercest competition is usually… me. I'm constantly picking up new tricks, whether it's throwing pottery, vibe coding, or figuring out the best way to keep my dog, Sage, from outsmarting me (spoiler: she usually wins). I can roll with whatever life throws my way, whether it's trying out a quirky new art technique or sampling food in a country I've never been to. If there's something new to learn or explore, count me in!
