My work focuses on transforming complex subject matter into engaging learning journeys using thoughtful instructional design, storytelling, and technology.
About Me
Instructional Designer • Learning Experience Designer • Curriculum Developer
A career built around learning.
Over the past two decades I have worked across education, training, and curriculum development. Today I specialise in designing digital learning experiences, qualifications, and online programmes for higher education and occupational training.
My work focuses on transforming complex subject matter into structured learning journeys. I design curriculum, assessments, and interactive digital learning using tools such as Moodle, Articulate, Genially and many others.
I have worked across international edtech, higher education, and accredited training environments. My experience includes designing programmes for global universities, QCTO-aligned qualifications, and professional training in regulated sectors.
Across every role and environment, one thing has remained constant: a commitment to making learning engaging, interactive, and occasionally a little fun – whether in the classroom, the corporate boardroom, or online.
