I design creative, emotionally supportive learning experiences for kids using drama, expressive arts, play‑based learning, and SEL principles. With a background in curriculum design, acting/voice work, ESL teaching, and trauma‑informed care, I create lessons, scripts, activities, and workshops that help children build confidence, communication skills, imagination, and emotional literacy — all in a warm, engaging, developmentally appropriate way. What I can create for you: • Drama‑based lesson plans (movement, character work, imagination games) • Expressive‑arts activity packs (drawing, storytelling, creative emotional expression) • SEL modules (empathy, self‑expression, calming strategies, communication) • Play‑based learning activities (symbolic play, puppetry, dramatic‑play centers) • Short scripts & skits for kids (classroom scenes, character stories, confidence‑building pieces) • Guided audio practices (calming journeys, imagination prompts, creative storytelling) • Parent or teacher activity guides My approach: I blend creativity with gentle structure. Everything I design is clear, easy to implement, and grounded in child‑development principles. I never provide therapy — instead, I create expressive, imaginative learning experiences that support emotional growth and communication in a safe, playful way. Who I work with: • Teachers & schools • Homeschool families • Youth programs • Children’s content creators • Educational app developers • Parents seeking creative support If you need warm, imaginative, drama‑based or expressive‑arts learning materials, I’d love to help bring your project to life.

I help coaches, educators, and business owners turn scattered expertise into a structured curriculum and then build it into a course that students actually finish and buy. Most "course builders" start with the platform. I start with the curriculum: what does the student need to learn, in what order, with what proof of progress, so they get a result and you get a completion rate worth bragging about. Then I build it out on Kajabi, LearnWorlds, Teachable, Thinkific, or LearnDash, whichever fits your audience and budget. WHAT I DO ✅ Curriculum & Instructional Design I map your expertise into a learning path, modules, lessons, assessments, and milestones — using instructional design principles, not guesswork. This is the part most freelancers skip, and it's the part that determines whether students finish your course or refund it. ✅ Course Build & LMS Setup Once the curriculum is mapped, I build it: video lessons, quizzes, downloadable resources, drip schedules, and student onboarding, on Kajabi, LearnWorlds, Teachable, Thinkific, or LearnDash. ✅ Launch & Funnel Support Sales pages, enrollment funnels, and automated email sequences that move a visitor from "interested" to "enrolled," built with GoHighLevel, Kajabi automations, or ConvertKit. AI-Assisted Content Production When it speeds things up without hurting quality, I use Synthesia, Colossyan, and Camtasia to turn scripts and slides into polished video lessons. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME ✅ I design the learning experience first, the tech second, so your course gets finished, not just published. ✅ 100% Job Success, Rising Talent, 5.0 across every completed contract. ✅ Certified Online Course Developer (Kajabi Academy) and Instructional Design & eLearning Development (University of Illinois). ✅ I communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and tell you honestly what's realistic in your timeline and budget. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Coaches, consultants, and educators who already have expertise and need it turned into a real curriculum not just uploaded as raw video. WHAT I DON'T DO I'm not a general web developer and I don't build stores, blogs, or non-education sites. If your project is a course, a training program, or a learning platform, that's my lane. Send me a message with what you're teaching and who it's for, I'll tell you honestly what a good curriculum for it looks like before we talk platform. 🧠 Platforms & Tools I Work With Kajabi | Thinkific | LearnDash | LearnWorlds | Teachable | Podia | GoHighLevel | Dubsado | 17hats | ConvertKit | Zapier | Synthesia | Colossyan | Kajabi | Communications | Virtual Assistance | Email Communication | Instructional Design | Online Instruction | Learning Management System | Course | Articulate Storyline | LearnWorlds | Online course | course building | Web Design | Graphic Design | Web Development | Marketing Strategy |Content Writing | Instructional Design | Klaviyo | Zoho | Make | Explainer Video | Screencasting Video | Curriculum Development | Instructional Design | Course | Curriculum Design |Program Curriculum Course | Online | Instruction | Instructional Design | Elearning | Writing | Training Presentation |Education | Online Course Website | LMS Website Development | LearnDash Developer | Course Platform Setup | WordPress LMS | Kajabi Website | Membership Website |Online Learning Platform | Course Website Design | eLearning Website | Online Course Website Development | LMS Website Developer | WordPress LMS Expert | Course Platform Setup | LearnDash Website | Kajabi Course Website | Membership Course Website | eLearning Platform Development | Moodle LMS Developer | Online Learning Website Design

How to Hire Top Curriculum Developers

How to hire curriculum developers

Planning on starting your own online course? You’ll need a curriculum developer to help you create a course that will help your students learn the skills you wish to teach.

So how do you hire curriculum developers? What follows are some tips for finding top curriculum developers on Upwork.

How to shortlist curriculum development professionals

As you’re browsing available curriculum development consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the freelancers you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Subject matter. You want a curriculum developer who understands the subject you are trying to teach so they can best divide up the coursework into meaningful classes.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., experience creating courses for a specific eLearning platform such as Udemy).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular curriculum developer.

How to write an effective curriculum development job post

With a clear picture of your ideal curriculum developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective curriculum development job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From class schedules to online quizzes, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Why hire curriculum developers?

The trick to finding top curriculum developers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to create a sequence of internal training courses for your business? Or will you be publishing your course on a major online learning platform? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a curriculum developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
