**Top 3% Upwork Talent** eLearning Developer & Instructional Designer | Articulate 360 & Adobe Expert Hi, I’m Belinda! Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, I help organisations transform static content into high-impact, SCORM-compliant digital learning experiences. I bridge the gap between technical instructional design and high-end visual storytelling. My process takes your vision from a raw concept to a polished, brand-aligned asset that doesn't just deliver information- it drives genuine learner engagement. 🔄 The Full-Cycle Development: I manage the entire project lifecycle, ensuring a seamless transition from storyboard to final export: • Concepts & Storyboarding: Microsoft Word & PowerPoint. • Bespoke UI/UX Design: Adobe Creative Suite & Figma. • Authoring & Animation: Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise), Vyond, Canva, and Powtoon for explainer videos. • Compliance & Export: SCORM, xAPI, or HTML5 for any LMS. 💡Specialised Solutions I Provide: • End-to-End Development: Full-service creation of eLearning modules, face-to-face training materials, and final QA testing. • Modern Interactive Design: Boosting retention through gamification, complex branching scenarios, and custom-built interfaces. • Presentation Transformation: Converting clunky PowerPoints into professional pitch decks or interactive learning module or explainer videos. • AI-Enhanced Workflows: Integrating high-quality AI narration (ElevenLabs) to reduce production time without sacrificing quality. Scalable Capacity for Complex Projects For large-scale or high-volume requirements, I collaborate with my business partner and husband, Matt. This partnership allows us to scale our design and development capacity, ensuring that even your most ambitious projects are delivered on time and to an elite standard.

I have an extensive background in education and training in both corporate and government sectors. My primary specialties are instructional design, online learning development, and face-to-face workshop resources. I am very savvy with Articulate Storyline and Rise and have strong visual design skills. I am really adept at PowerPoint to create engaging and meaningful presentations. I'm not too fond of the click, click, click and always ensure my work is relevant, engaging and learner-centric. My experience has primarily been in the health sector, the for-purpose sector, workplace culture programs and systems training. I recently wrote and developed the online systems training for NSW Mass Vaccination Centres with a competency assessment. I also work frequently with an Engineering organisation to develop face-to-face workshop resources. I have worked long-term with a US-based company developing programs for kids on self-esteem, cooking, etiquette, goal setting, and similar development programs. I love that. It's fun and challenging to get right so the kids don't feel like they're doing another school program. I spent 7 years as Director of a unit responsible for online education at NSW Health, developing everything from systems training, clinical training to soft skills programs. I won a finalist award in the Learning Performance Institute Awards in 2019 as Learning Leader of the Year and a Gold LearnX Award for Best Learning Manager. I have particular interests in social and population health programs as well as workplace culture and driving success in teams. I'm passionate about learner-centric training and making sure that participants are ACTUALLY learning from the resource and not just providing a tick box exercise. THAT is not my thing.
