Instructional Designer | LxD Consultant | Learning Experience Designer
I design learning that actually works in the real world.
After years of building training across corporate, nonprofit, and frontline environments, I’ve learned one simple truth: learning only sticks when it feels relevant, clear, and human. My work sits at the intersection of instructional design, learning architecture, and learning experience design—meaning I don’t just create content, I design how learning fits into people’s day-to-day work.
I help organizations turn complex ideas, policies, and processes into learning experiences that are easy to navigate, engaging to complete, and practical to apply. Whether it’s building a blended learning program, restructuring a training ecosystem, or creating scenario-based experiences that mirror real decisions, my focus is always on clarity, usability, and impact.
I care deeply about thoughtful design, accessibility, and meeting learners where they are. The goal isn’t to overwhelm people with information—it’s to support them in building confidence, competence, and momentum.
