I specialise in e-learning production and have more than a decade of experience of working with the biggest brands in science and education in both private and public sector. My career spans media production, teaching, research, instructional design and working for a top London educational consultancy. That means I can offer a comprehensive range of services for your project – including script writing, story boarding, video and audio production and graphic design. There are a lot of freelancers who can produce content, but few can also add the skills of a project manager, researcher, educator, writer and instructional designer. I draw on this wide experience to produce impactful e-learning courses, online conferences, explainer videos or podcasts. My background in consulting, education and science communication allows me to do more than make your projects look visually appealing. I will make sure the content I produce meets the needs of your audience and is aligned with learning as well as business objectives. If you need a reliable pro who will take care the full ownership of your e-learning projects, lets chat about working together. Thanks for reading my profile, Dr Lena Karlin

Hello! I have been working in education for several years, as an Instructor, SME, Instructional Designer, Curriculum Developer and Learning Designer. I have a Masters degree in Educational Technology, and a background in design, project management and web development. My subject matter expertise is in the areas of Communication, Business, Education and Digital Technology, but I also work on courses outside of these - for example, I have developed content for social sciences and health & social care. One of my research & development interests is information visualisation. I run a website that curates infographics, data visualisations and animated explainers for teachers to use in their courses (visualistics.co.uk). I also work on informal education projects, for example, companion websites for museum exhibits, and design websites for arts & culture organizations. For more information, please visit chemistrycommunications.com or my LinkedIn profile. (linkedin.com/in/underwoodl).
