A bit of background.

My journey into instructional design began in marketing and graphic design, where I discovered a passion for translating complex information into clear, compelling communication. As interactive digital technologies emerged, I realized that combining strategic visual design with learner engagement could transform passive content into active learning experiences. I was hooked.

Driven by that passion, I founded Creative Perspectives, Inc., building custom e-learning, interactive simulations, and technical training programs for clients across life sciences, finance, and global enterprise.

My career expanded into enterprise-scale leadership when I joined Hanover Research as E-Learning Manager. There, I spearheaded the production of a comprehensive learning library designed specifically for K-12 educators—scaling content development workflows and commercial-grade standards across a high-volume pipeline.

Now, back as an independent consultant and agency principal, I combine the entrepreneurial agility of running my own firm with executive-level enterprise experience. Across every initiative, my core objective remains the same: building learning solutions that are meaningful, memorable, and measurable.
