Learning shouldn’t feel like you’d rather stab your eyes out with a pencil.
Katrina Ward has the strategy, creativity, research-rigor and learning design muscle to bring your training ideas to life and boost learner engagement.
If you are a box ticker who only wants learning for compliance purposes, I’m unapologetically not the right person for you.
But if you’re not a box ticker and you want to transform learning and tick all the boxes, then you are in the right place.
I can help you to get rid of that ‘click-next’ fatique and kill ‘death by Powerpoint’ boredom. If you're rolling out a new training programme, needing to add pep to an existing programme, onboarding new staff, or rethinking what compliance and training looks like and feels like - then I’m your gal.
Some of my not-so-secret strengths you can tap into:
Experience Alchemy
I turn flat, forgettable content into immersive experiences—think interactive story-driven quests and digital play spaces, not slide decks.
Design Whispering
From playful naming to interface clarity, every element I design balances fun with function.
Neuroinclusion Strategy
UDL (universal Design for Learning) isn’t an add-on for me. It’s my foundation and lived experience. I build learning that works for different brains.
Play Architecture
My signature strength is creating low-stakes, high-engagement digital play spaces with suites of resources that people can explore, not endure.
Ninja Naming
Learning shouldn’t sound like a filing cabinet. I give your content voice, vibe, and memorability so that it is something to talk about at the watercooler.
If you’ve got:
A message or mission to share
Training that needs a serious engagement makeover
A team who deserves better learning experiences
A vision for inclusive, impactful education
Then I’ve got the strategy, creativity, and design muscle to bring it to life.
