I'm a skilled e-learning developer with graphic design skills who is ready to transform your training materials. I specialize in Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) to create engaging, SCORM-compliant courses. Let's elevate your learning experiences!

I help public sector, corporate, and tech teams turn complex information into clear, engaging eLearning that performs in the LMS. With 10 years in instructional design and eLearning development, I build end-to-end courses in Articulate 360 using both Rise 360 and Storyline 360 to deliver learning that is interactive, measurable, and accessible. I have developed 80 eLearning modules across Rise and Storyline, representing roughly 1,000 hours of seat time, and I deliver packages that are ready to deploy and maintain. What I build for clients: - Rise 360 course builds and conversions from PowerPoint, Word, SOPs, and SME notes - Storyline 360 interactions including branching scenarios, decision-based learning, and software simulations - Full course development from analysis to storyboard to build, including objectives and assessments - LMS-ready publishing and handoff using SCORM 2004, with testing support for smooth implementation in Moodle My workflow is predictable and efficient: - Confirm audience, business goal, and learning outcomes - Create a storyboard and script, or move directly into rapid prototyping based on timeline - Develop in Rise and Storyline with your branding and content standards - QA for navigation, tracking readiness, and consistency - Deliver final SCORM package, source files, and a concise change log Quality standards you can expect: - Designed for WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 accessibility requirements - Clean audio and screen capture workflows using DaVinci Resolve, OBS, Audacity, and supporting visuals in Canva - A focus on practical learning with meaningful knowledge checks and realistic practice activities If you need a partner who can take your source content and deliver a complete, professional eLearning course, send your materials and a brief description of the audience and goals. I will respond with a clear build approach, timeline, and a fixed-price option if preferred.

I have a strong experience in designing and developing courses and building content using instructional design principles and various e-learning software for the corporate professionals.I worked with subject matter experts, and trainers to determine their main learning objective; I then developed and structured training content in a way that best delivers the information to learners to most adequately meet the predetermined objectives. I am thoroughly familiar and comfortable with multi-media in various forms and can utilize these media to most efficiently deliver educational content. My superior communication skills allow me to transmit knowledge in a way that is easily understood by all kinds of learners.

Most clients come to me saying "we need a course on X." My first job is to find out whether training is even the right fix. Sometimes the real problem is a broken process or a documentation gap that no course will solve, and I'll tell you that up front before you spend money building the wrong thing. When training is the answer, I build it to change behavior on the job, not just check a compliance box. I've spent 10+ years designing learning for technical, safety, and compliance-heavy environments, including oil and gas, legal, and construction. That means I already understand how regulated work operates: the documentation standards, the legal exposure, and the reason a "Next" button sometimes needs to stay locked for 60 seconds on a policy slide so nobody skims content that matters. You won't spend weeks bringing me up to speed on how your industry works. What I bring to a project: • Front-end analysis to find the real performance gap before anything gets built (ADDIE or SAM, depending on what the project needs) • Course design grounded in adult learning theory, with measurable objectives and assessments that test the right skill instead of just recall • Production-ready builds in Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360 • LMS setup and configuration (Moodle, Litmos, TalentLMS) so learning paths and progress tracking actually work • Clear SME collaboration and tight scope management, so projects don't quietly balloon mid-build A few things you can count on: I keep communication plain, you'll see the work along the way with no surprise reveals, and I deliver in the formats your team already uses. I hold an M.Ed in Educational Technology and I'm a certified TESOL instructor, which shows up in how carefully I handle language and clarity. If you have a performance problem and you're not even sure training is the answer, send me the details. I'll tell you what I'd actually recommend. TESTIMONIALS 1.
