I’m an experienced Digital Learning Designer and Developer with over 25 years’ expertise in designing, developing, and delivering impactful learning solutions across both public and private sectors.


Throughout my career, I’ve taken on a variety of roles that have shaped my approach and deepened my understanding of how people learn:


  • eLearning Developer and Instructional Designer
  • eLearning Consultant and LMS Administrator
  • Corporate Trainer, Mentor, and Secondary School Teacher

These experiences have equipped me with a broad and adaptable skill set, enabling me to bridge pedagogy, andragogy, and technology. I'm especially skilled at collaborating with academic and professional services staff to align digital learning with strategic goals—ensuring all content is accessible, engaging, and purpose-driven.


My design practice is strongly influenced by direct experience supporting learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). I continue to learn from my own son, who is dyslexic, has Irlen Syndrome, and is synesthetic. These insights have shaped my commitment to creating accessible, inclusive, and cognitively diverse learning experiences.


Motivated by a deep passion for learning and its transformative potential, I strive to design meaningful, learner-centred solutions. Whether developing an interactive eLearning course, facilitating a live workshop, or producing a practical job aid, my goal is always the same:


to support diverse learners and deliver measurable outcomes.
