About
Instructional Designer with a background in exercise science, a curiosity-driven approach, and a mission to make learning actually work.
I started my career in exercise science and rehabilitation. Helping people recover, rebuild strength, and change their habits. The work was rewarding, but what I loved most wasn't the programming — it was the teaching. Watching someone finally understand why they needed to move differently, and then actually doing it.
Then COVID hit. The industry shifted. I found myself with time to think about what I actually wanted to do. That's when I discovered instructional design — and realised I'd been doing a version of it all along. Breaking down complex information. Making it stick. Changing behaviour.
I threw myself into learning the craft. Articulate Storyline. Learning theory. Assessment design. And I landed a role in aged care, where I built ATLAS — an eLearning platform now used by over 2,400 healthcare workers, with completion rates that actually mean something (57.8% voluntary completion on compliance training).
"The best part of working in rehab was always the teaching. Now I get to do that at scale — helping thousands of people learn things that actually matter."
I've sat through the same terrible compliance training you have. Death by PowerPoint. Click-next-to-continue. Training that exists to tick boxes, not change behaviour.
That's what I'm fighting against. Learning that doesn't change behaviour isn't learning — it's just content. And your people deserve better than content.
I design training that respects people's time and intelligence. Training they actually complete, remember, and apply. Measurable improvement, not just seat time.
Design Philosophy
"I believe that disparate, disconnected interests and hobbies are not distractions, but essential, valuable assets in the design process."
Exercise science. Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Web development. Graphic design. Every skill I've picked up along the way shapes how I solve problems today. The best learning experiences come from unexpected connections.
Expertise
Learning pathway architecture, assessment strategy, instructional strategy consulting. Evidence-based approaches that drive behaviour change.
Articulate Storyline interactive modules. Rise responsive courses. SCORM packages for LMS deployment. Video content and multimedia integration.
ACQS, NDIS, clinical compliance done right. Turning mandatory requirements into learning people actually engage with and remember.
Measurement frameworks that connect learning to business outcomes. Not just completion rates — actual behaviour change and performance improvement.
Brand strategy, visual identity, marketing collateral. Design that supports learning objectives and strengthens brand presence.
Portfolio sites, landing pages, and learning portals. Clean, accessible, mobile-first design that just works.
Tools
Values
I don't guess. I research, test, and measure. Every design decision should be defensible with data, not just "I thought it looked nice."
The fanciest interaction isn't always the best one. Sometimes a well-structured text page beats an overcomplicated drag-and-drop.
I don't measure success by modules delivered. I measure it by behaviour changed, performance improved, and problems solved.
Your learners are busy. They don't want to sit through content they already know. I design training that respects that.
