Design Tools I Use
With a strong education and design background, I bring a unique blend of design and educational expertise to every project I undertake. I utilize various design techniques, including backwards design, to ensure that learning outcomes are met effectively. My proficiency with software like Articulate allows me to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. Additionally, my background in the Adobe Creative Suite empowers me to craft visually appealing content tailored to the needs of learners. Whatever the project entails, my diverse abilities ensure high-quality deliverables that resonate with audiences.
Simulations
I create interactive prototypes and visual simulations to help clients and learners experience a product, interface, or system before it goes live. Using tools like Adobe XD and Figma, I build realistic mockups that support user testing, stakeholder reviews, and iterative design. These prototypes bring clarity to complex processes, improve user experience, and reduce development time by aligning design and functionality early in the project.
Articulate
I use Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise) to design engaging, interactive training modules tailored to Quality Assurance (QA) processes and standards. From process walkthroughs to scenario-based assessments, I develop content that helps teams understand and apply QA protocols consistently and confidently. By incorporating real-life examples, simulations, and knowledge checks, I ensure learners retain critical information and can apply it directly on the job. These modules are designed with adult learning principles in mind and can be easily updated as processes evolve. Whether you're launching a new QA system or reinforcing existing standards, I can help create clear, effective training that supports accuracy, compliance, and performance.
Design Process
My approach to instructional design is grounded in proven learning theories and agile development models. I use a blend of frameworks, including Scrum for project management and the SAM (Successive Approximation Model) for rapid, iterative design — to ensure training solutions are both effective and adaptable. Each project begins with a needs analysis and learner-focused design strategy, followed by collaborative development sessions, prototyping, and ongoing feedback cycles. I align my process with models like ADDIE, Gagné’s Nine Events, and adult learning principles to build content that is purposeful, engaging, and results-driven. This flexible yet structured approach helps teams stay aligned, deliver faster, and create learning experiences that actually stick.
Adobe Suite
I use Adobe Creative Suite to develop visually compelling assets for both digital and print learning experiences. With Adobe Illustrator, I create clean, scalable vector graphics—including icons, diagrams, and branded visuals—that support clarity and engagement. I also leverage Adobe XD for a wide range of visual planning and prototyping tasks, from layout mockups to interactive concept designs. It’s a key tool in my process for mapping out user experiences, storyboards, and design flows, making collaboration and iteration smooth and efficient. Whether designing for learning platforms, presentations, or marketing materials, I combine creativity with strategic thinking to deliver purposeful and polished results.
