Instructional Designer |E-Learning Developer| LXD & Training Strategy

I help companies turn messy processes and scattered knowledge into clear, scalable learning that actually changes behavior. If your training feels confusing, outdated, or hard to maintain, I fix that. With 10+ years in learning & development, including 5+ years focused specifically on instructional design and learning experience design (LXD), I don't just build courses, I analyze what isn't working and design a better way to teach it. My background started in training delivery and HR-side learning roles, which means I design with a real understanding of how content actually lands with learners, not just how it looks on paper. I work across the full learning cycle: training needs analysis, content architecture, scripting, visual design, and LMS setup, turning scattered SME knowledge into structured, learner-centered e-learning. I've also led content production workflows, coordinating instructional design, video, and graphic teams to keep training programs consistent, on-schedule, and pedagogically sound, so I bring both hands-on execution and the ability to oversee larger training initiatives end to end. My toolkit: Articulate Rise, Kajabi (including custom HTML/CSS for branded, polished builds), TalentLMS, Tekmatic, Trainual and others. What clients come to me for: +Training needs analysis that identifies the real problem before building a solution +Courses that feel polished, modern, and easy to understand +Workbooks, lesson guides, and scripts that elevate the learning experience +LMS organization that finally makes sense to learners and admins +Oversight and coordination of larger training programs and content production pipelines If you're looking for someone who can analyze your training gap, design the fix, and bring it to life with zero chaos, let's talk.
