I help organizations design, prototype, and launch immersive, AI-enabled, and interactive learning experiences that move beyond slides and into practice.
I’m a learning technology consultant, instructional designer, and immersive learning specialist with 25 years in L&D and 17 years teaching at Kirkwood Community College. My work sits where practical training, emerging technology, and clear communication overlap.
I help teams turn complex ideas into learning people can actually use, whether that’s an Articulate course, an AI-supported workflow, an interactive web prototype, an AR/VR experience, or a full curriculum plan. The goal is always the same: start with the real problem, build what fits, and avoid tech for tech’s sake.
I’m based in Marion, Iowa, and work with organizations across the country and beyond.
See the hands-on project work I build and teach with Jeff Batt.
Space Invaders-style assessment where the invaders are the answer choices. Correct hits advance the game. Knowledge recall becomes reflexive action.
Story-driven gamified learning experience with custom code blocks that push beyond the default block library.
Moon colony survival card game where learners allocate skills, draw hazards, play resources, and try to survive the mission.
Consequence-based branching game that turns risk identification into a decision-making experience instead of a lecture-heavy module.
Interactive presentation-design workshop covering design principles, images, AI tools, and a repeatable workflow for better slide design.
Interactive evidence board where learners inspect clues, follow red-string connections, and solve the case.
Interactive three-card example showing how a simple learning interaction can be built, styled, and launched as a lightweight web-based activity.
Hands-on AI 101 session that moves from basic understanding to practical workplace use through examples, prompts, activities, and workflow thinking.
No pitch decks, no sales process — just a direct conversation about what you're trying to build.
