Instructional designer and course developer with 20 years in content creation, an MBA, and an MSc in Psychology. I design curricula, e-learning, and AI-integrated learning systems that inform and captivate. I believe everything and anything can be made engaging! Here's how I can help you: - E-learning Development: Let me build comprehensive online courses that cater to diverse educational environments, from corporate training to children's education. - AI-Integrated Learning Design: I run a documented 18-phase AI-assisted production pipeline (backward design, narrative frameworks, prompt frameworks, built-in QA passes), so course content scales without going generic. - Multimedia Content: Based on your learners' needs, I can create interactive, multimedia-rich learning experiences that resonate with your audience. - Traditional Curriculum Design: I can use your information to develop structured and effective curricula tailored to your learners' needs. - Microlearning Modules: I am your one-stop shop for designing bite-sized learning modules for quick skill acquisition and retention. - Assessment Design: quizzes, rubrics, and evaluations aligned to your learning outcomes. Recent work: a six-module e-bike safety curriculum turned into production-ready scripts (5.0, "delivered far beyond what I expected"), middle-school Robotics and PE courses (both 5.0), and a $5K Prompt Engineering course build. Tools and Technologies: Streamlit, Python Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) Moodle, Canvas Claude, ChatGPT & GenAI production workflows (Upwork GenAI-certified) Community-based learning platforms (Circle .so, Teachable. com, Xperiencify. com) And lots more (I'm a bit of a tech head, especially innovation platforms and new ed-tech) So... let's collaborate to elevate your learning and development initiatives. I'm here to help!
