Empowering Curiosity Through Design

As a passionate Instructional Designer and lifelong learner, I believe that curiosity is the spark—and intentional design is what keeps the fire burning. With a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking, I craft engaging e-Learning experiences that challenge adult learners to think deeper, explore more, and apply knowledge with confidence. My work is driven by a belief that learning should be both meaningful and measurable—each course a journey built to inspire growth. Whether collaborating with cross-functional teams or independently developing content from the ground up, I bring energy, precision, and a learner-first mindset. Let me help ignite the transformation your organization needs to turn learning into lasting impact.

My Design Process

Preparation

This stage is to prepare and gather information before the project begins.

Communicate with key stakeholders
Examine course content and data before initiating kick-off meeting
Produce insightful questions to be reviewed in first meeting

Analysis

All stakeholders including subject matter experts begin with a kickoff meeting to collaborate on all analytics.

Identify performance outcomes
Identify project requirements and scope
Clarify project roles
Construct timelines and deliverable deadlines
Identify audience, seat time and modality
Create needs analysis: performance gaps, trends etc.

Design

Designing begins after compiling information from all stakeholders and analyzing their feedback.

Define learning objectives
Map learning objectives to business goal
Create a design document (purpose, audience, seat time, deliverables, learning objectives, training outline and assessment plan)
Design document gets reviewed, and feedback is implemented
Create a storyboard (branding, images, layout, slide text, slide narration, slide interactions)
Storyboard gets reviewed and feedback implemented

Development

Developing interactive learning in different software using visual and adult learning principles. Alpha, Beta and Gold revisions are completed.

Articulate Storyline: scenario-based learning, avatars, voiceover, states, layers, triggers, variables, branching scenarios, accordions, knowledge checks and quizzes
Articulate Rise: carousels, flip cards, markers and buttons
PowerPoint: instructor-led training, discussions, breakout rooms, group exercises, virtual or in-person format
Canva: job aids, posters, infographics, gifs and other microlearning

Implementation

Final e-Learning course is implemented and tracked through a learning management system (LMS).

Publish the course to create a zip file and SCORM package
Deliver zip file to LMS administrator

Evaluation

Kirkpatrick Model is used to track learning and closing gaps.

Kirkpatrick's Level 2: Final graded quiz and knowledge checks

Built into the training, immediate feedback, coupled with Level 3 evaluations

Ideally:

Kirkpatrick's Level 3: Observe and assess behavior 1-2 months after training

Use observations, interviews, surveys and learner performance

Kirkpatrick's Level 4: Impact on the organization

Compiling data several months to years after the training. Hard to isolate the impact due to other factors in this time frame
