Project details
This instructional design session provides clarity, structure, and direction before developing an eLearning course or training program. In this 2–3 hour strategy meeting, we’ll define your project goals, challenges, target learners, and success criteria. We’ll review your existing materials, outline the course structure or learning path, and identify key decisions needed before production begins. Delivery timeline begins only after the SparkStart session has occurred and all required information has been received.
With 20+ years of instructional design experience and a 100% Job Success Score, I work efficiently—often making my services more cost-effective overall. I specialize in designing courses for transfer, ensuring learners can apply new skills effectively, not just complete engaging content.
After the session, you’ll receive a clear scope of work, timeline estimate, and a project-based pricing quote so you know the full cost upfront. You’ll also receive next steps and a structured roadmap to guide the project forward.
This session is ideal for new course builds, converting content into eLearning, compliance programs, or selecting the right development approach.

Update 2 Rise Modules to include 4 languages
Carrie was a true lifesaver on our project. We had to transition from another designer due to quality and communication issues, and Carrie stepped in seamlessly. She completed the work ahead of schedule even though the project plan was a very tight one. She also delivered it to a very high standard.
She was extremely communicative throughout (despite the 7 hour time difference), providing frequent updates and ensuring full transparency on progress. Carrie also is very detail-oriented. She went above and beyond by identifying typos and inconsistencies that were outside the original scope of her work.
Carrie is an empathetic person and that cares about client satisfaction. She delivers high-quality results at reasonable prices.
We’re very happy to have found Carrie and would gladly work with her again. She will be our top choice for instructional design on future e-learning projects.

She was easy to work with and demonstrated a strong commitment to high quality, quick turnaround, and attention to detail. She also designed several beautiful flyers and program information sheets for our department. I highly recommend her for graphic and instructional design projects.

I bring hands-on experience across a wide range of Learning Management Systems, including Canvas, LearnWorlds, TalentLMS, Brightspace (D2L), LearnUpon, and other SCORM-based platforms, and regularly support clients in choosing, implementing, and optimizing the right LMS for their needs. My work spans course development, program design, LMS planning, and learning ecosystem strategy.
Using proven instructional design principles and adult learning theory, I design learning that is practical, accessible, and transfer-focused—ensuring learners can actually apply what they’ve learned on the job. I’m highly experienced with Articulate Storyline and Rise, Vyond, accessibility standards (WCAG AA, Section 508), and end-to-end project management.
Clients often work with me when they:
✔️ Need to plan or refine an eLearning program
✔️ Want expert guidance before committing to development
✔️ Are selecting or changing an LMS
✔️ Need complex content turned into effective online learning
I’m known for strong communication, thoughtful project management, and helping clients avoid unnecessary complexity or costs by focusing on what truly supports their goals.
Below are a few testimonials from organizations I’ve partnered with to design impactful, high-quality learning solutions.
"Carrie goes above and beyond to make sure the project is the very best that it can possibly be. The feedback of participants engaged in the online learning continuously rates their experience as second to none. And our enrollment in these courses has gone beyond my expectations.
