I turn corporate training into playful digital playgrounds that put the fun into function.

Most workplace learning is forgotten before the coffee break. I’m on a mission to change what learning feels like.

I design experiences that learners actually want to finish—evergreen, asynchronous adventures full of choice, colour and curiosity. With a mantra of ‘make the pie’ (don’t ‘serve the pie’ or ‘interaction over extraction’) I create experiences that orchestrate learners as agents of their own learning (like chefs and artists) so that they can have ownership of their own outcomes.

The ‘secret sauce’ I bring to learning design is a special blend of over 20 years of teaching and learning in corporate, secondary, tertiary, consultancy and coaching contexts as well as being an active artist and writer. My focus is on PLAY, INTERACTION, ENGAGEMENT and MEMORABILITY (caps for excitement!) as well as pedagogy (the science of teaching and learning).

My Wild Cards (How I Help):

• Play as a serious strategy

  I build low-stakes, high-engagement spaces where learners explore, not endure.

• Interaction over Extraction
  I design experiences that encourage discovery and revelation for learners rather than them being passive recipients of content.

• Sticky Wordsmithery
  From activity names to section headers, I write with rhythm and memorability in mind. I’m not afraid of a demonic mnemonic.

• Not another quiz
  My work includes self-paced digital journeys, choose-your-own-scenario experiences, rebranded compliance pathways, and everything in between.

My Back Story for the Keen Readers

As a neurodiverse learner growing up, I never quite fit the system. You might imagine a weird child fusion of Thelma (from Scooby Doo) and any ‘mad artist’ cliche - someone who was always armed with a sketchbook, was relentlessly creative, hyper-geeky, ultra-curious, and happiest nestled in a pile of books researching the latest obsession. That was me.

Fast forward to today, and I'm still that person. I geek out about pedagogy (the science of teaching and learning), am always reading about education, love writing and blogging about education, love all things academic, am still relentlessly creative and thrive on solving intriguing problems. As a result, my 'craft carousel' of creative strategies breaks the mold of conventional learning and I pride myself on leaving a unique mark on all of the projects I have the privilege to work on.

Learning environments are creative spaces for me - and I love to play with teaching acting as both an artist and a scientist. I studied Sculpture at Elam School of Fine Arts and did a double degree balancing my Fine Arts degree with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and English. I went on to do my Masters in Art History and Philosophy and landed on teaching and pedagogy as my calling when I realised that I love seeing the ‘aha’ moment when I have helped someone experience when something clicks. My Postgraduate Diploma in teaching was the just the start of the next 20 years of on-the-ground geekery writing and researching and figuring out how to do things better.

For the last 20 years I’ve been honing my unique mash-up of skills and people hire me to be a ‘creative fixer’ of both systems and learning experiences. I’ve worked in corporate, tertiary and secondary environments specialising in digital fluency, cross-curricular learning design, literacy, inclusive teaching, change management, onboarding, training the trainer programmes and generally ‘creative ways to do things a bit differently’.

I get bored quickly. So sitting through tedious, uninspiring experiences is my own personal purgatory. 'Death by PowerPoint' and ‘read to me from the screen’ isn't just a cliché; it's cognitive torment that I really believe the world should be spared from. So I’m on a mission to change that.

I'm on a mission to revolutionise what learning feels like.

Let's make learning an adventure, not an ordeal.
