Learning Design at Scale
At Autodesk, I've worn multiple hats, from project and program manager to learning experience designer to coach, as I helped launch a customer education program for one industry in 2021 and am now (2025) working on a cross-industry unified learning program for multiple audiences.

Instructional Design: Multimedia Samples
Each video is titled according to the general purpose it served. I wrote, narrated, and produced each of these materials, ultimately using Storyline 360 for all of them. In many cases, I work directly with subject matter experts to produce a variety of trainings for internal and external audiences. The video labeled "Assessment Examples" is a sort of menu of problem types I built to share with colleagues as a way to showcase basic capabilities for any training they might request. I developed these projects according to specific requirements and with provided resources.
