I design and build end-to-end learning programs from curriculum architecture through production, assessment, and LMS delivery. Over 13+ years, I have created training across K–12, corporate, healthcare, compliance, and workforce environments, including 25+ published textbooks and large-scale digital training rolled out across multiple industries.
I bring both sides: instructional design grounded in how people actually learn and retain, and the production and systems thinking to ship it at scale.
As a former Head of Product, I've owned learning platforms and roadmaps, not just course files, so I think about adoption, operational fit, and how a program runs after handoff, not one-off deliverables.
What I deliver:
• Full curriculum and course design, from architecture to finished build
• LMS-ready experiences for Rise 360, Moodle, Canvas, Kajabi, Thinkific, LearnWorlds, and SCORM
• Assessments and learning-objective-aligned evaluation, not just content
• Interactive assets: branching scenarios, simulations, case-based activities, gamification
• Onboarding, SOP training, and internal enablement programs
• AI-augmented content production systems that cut build time without losing quality
• Facilitator manuals, learner toolkits, knowledge bases, and implementation guides
Best fit if you are building something larger than a single course and want a partner who owns the whole system methodology through finished, LMS-ready training. Let's connect.
