Hi! I’m Laura, an instructional designer, learning experience strategist, AI workflow consultant, and content creator with experience designing training programs, eLearning, multimedia, and business systems for Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and consumer brands. My primary focus is instructional design and workflow optimization. I create engaging learning experiences using Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Camtasia, Vyond, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, and AI-powered development tools. My work includes eLearning courses, facilitator guides, onboarding programs, leadership development, software training, compliance training, SOPs, job aids, and blended learning solutions that improve performance and simplify complex processes. Beyond learning design, I specialize in leveraging AI to improve productivity, automate workflows, and accelerate development. I regularly work with ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, ElevenLabs, and Simile to streamline research, generate interactive learning experiences, prototype custom solutions, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance creative workflows. At ACE Parking, I designed and built a custom AI-assisted project management system using Google Apps Script, JavaScript, HTML, Google Sheets, and Claude Code, creating a centralized platform for project tracking, approvals, dashboards, and stakeholder collaboration. At CVS Health, I continue integrating AI into learning and development workflows to improve efficiency, content production, and knowledge sharing across teams. I also create social media content and digital marketing assets for brands including Westfield UTC, One Paseo, Prept Meals, and The Autism Helper. From developing content strategies and producing short-form video to writing captions and managing community engagement, I enjoy translating ideas into content that informs, builds trust, and drives measurable results. My background as a former educator shapes everything I create. Whether I’m building an online course, designing a workflow, or developing a content strategy, my goal is always the same: reduce complexity, create intuitive experiences, and help people accomplish their goals more efficiently. My expertise includes instructional design, AI workflow consulting, eLearning development, workflow automation, knowledge management, project management systems, LMS administration, Google Apps Script, multimedia production, video editing, graphic design, social media strategy, content marketing, and AI-assisted solution design. If you’re looking for someone who can build impactful learning experiences, design smarter workflows, leverage AI to improve productivity, or create engaging digital content, I’d love to learn more about your project and discuss how I can help.

I help businesses build and improve training systems without having to coordinate multiple vendors. Some clients need a full training program built from scratch. Others just need help updating or cleaning up what they already have. I work across both, depending on what makes the most sense for the business. Training that works involves more than just creating courses. It also includes materials, delivery, communication, and making sure everything fits together. I bring all of that together so the end result is clear, usable, and ready to implement. Work often includes: - Online courses (SCORM / LMS-ready) - Updates and improvements to existing training - Full training programs from idea to launch - Onboarding and certification programs - Playbooks, SOPs, and operations manuals - Safety and technical training - Presentation decks and facilitator guides - Visual design for training materials - In-person or virtual facilitation support - Rollout support and internal communication planning - LMS guidance including platform selection and structure My background is in education, so everything I build is based on adult learning principles. That means the training is clear, relevant, and something people can actually use in their day-to-day work. A few examples: - Built 75+ courses for a skincare company under Colgate-Palmolive - Built a 12-month education program to help renters become first-time homebuyers, including curriculum, onboarding, and delivery structure - Built franchise playbooks covering operations, growth, and training systems - Developed OSHA-compliant safety training from existing documentation I’ve worked across healthcare, education, automotive, construction, engineering, retail, pet care, and nonprofit sectors. I keep projects organized, communicate clearly, and take them from concept through rollout. If you’re not exactly sure what you need yet, that’s completely fine. I can help you define the right approach and build it out.

I've spent more than twelve years taking complicated subject matter and turning it into training people can actually use. Sometimes that means starting with a pile of SME notes and building the curriculum from the ground up. Sometimes it's rebuilding an existing course, developing interactive Storyline training, or researching content that has to stand up to regulatory or compliance review. My work spans healthcare, legal education, real estate licensing, construction safety, workforce development, onboarding, and other specialized industries. I am particularly strong when the content is complex, unfamiliar, or regulated and someone needs to be able to trust the finished product. I partner closely with subject matter experts and quickly learn unfamiliar industries. My current work includes collaborating with a Harvard-educated attorney and law professor on advanced legal education, translating sophisticated legal concepts and source material into structured learning without losing the nuance of the subject matter. If a regulation is cited in a lesson, I verify it against the actual statute or administrative code. I don't assume existing content is correct. I cross-reference, confirm, and flag discrepancies before they become compliance issues later. I recently completed a state licensing curriculum update involving 275 learning objectives across 18 modules for a 90-hour Arizona real estate course. I verified statutory citations, collaborated with SMEs, managed regulatory content, and delivered more than 1,000 validated assessment questions on schedule. I hold a Master's in Instructional Design and Technology and am Top Rated Plus with 100% Job Success on Upwork. I manage the full lifecycle of a project, from needs analysis and SME collaboration through learning objectives, content development, Storyline and Rise 360 builds, SCORM packaging, and LMS integration. I use AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok throughout my workflow for research, analysis, ideation, drafting, and problem solving. They help me work faster and explore problems from different angles, but they do not replace professional judgment or source verification. Beyond regulated training, I build healthcare onboarding, internal software training, and corporate learning programs that require clear structure and accurate content. I develop in Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Camtasia, and Vyond. If your project requires thoughtful instructional design, careful research, and dependable execution, I'd be happy to scope it and provide a detailed quote within 24 hours. A note on my workflow: I use AI tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok, as part of my professional process. I personally review all final work, verify content against authoritative sources when accuracy matters, and make the final judgment on every deliverable. I take full professional responsibility for the accuracy and quality of the work I deliver.
