How I work

Listen. Design. Build. Refine.

Working with me should feel straightforward. You bring the expertise; I bring nearly 30 years of experience turning it into learning. Here is what that looks like.

Listen.

Learn about the expertise, the audience, your goals, and the material you already have.

A relaxed conversation about your goals and audience
Time with your experts to learn the subject
A look at the material you already have
Agreement on what people need to learn

Design.

Determine the right learning experience and create the approach.

A clear outline or storyboard you can react to
Activities, scenarios, and examples that fit your audience
A plan for how learners will practice and check understanding
Your review before anything gets built

Build.

Develop the experience, course, program, resources, or materials.

The course, program, or resources themselves
Interactive elements, media, and learner materials
Accessibility built in from the start
Regular check-ins so there are no surprises

Refine.

Test, gather feedback, and improve what needs improving.

A test run with real learners or reviewers
Feedback gathered and sorted
Clear fixes made where they matter
A finished experience you're proud to share

What to expect

Your project, in experienced hands.

You won't need to speak "instructional design"

Tell me what you know and who needs to learn it. Translating that into learning is my job.

Your experts' time is respected

I come prepared, ask focused questions, and keep reviews short and specific.

You'll see the work early

Outlines and drafts come early, so changes are easy and nothing goes off track.

AI helps behind the scenes

I use AI tools to research, draft, and prototype faster. Every decision and every word that reaches your learners is reviewed by me.
