What I Bring To Learning Experience Design
After 20+ years teaching English, I’ve spent most of my career thinking carefully about how people learn. My role involved much more than delivering lessons — I was constantly analysing where learners were struggling, breaking complex ideas into manageable steps, and designing activities that helped them improve, all based on my deep understanding of pedagogy.
That same process sits at the heart of learning experience design. I now apply the same structured thinking to creating learning experiences that help people build skills and perform with confidence.
As a teacher, success was always measured by whether learners could actually apply what they’d learned. Over the years I designed lessons, assessments, and learning activities that helped students develop practical skills and make measurable progress.
That focus on outcomes carries over into my work as a learning experience designer. I’m interested in creating learning that identifies the performance problem through data analysis and collaboration with learners, stakeholders and subject - matter experts. This means that the learning solution provided supports real performance, not just information delivery.
My background in education has given me a strong foundation in communication and learner engagement. I’m used to taking complex information and turning it into clear, structured learning experiences that make sense to the audience.
As I move more deeply into learner experience design, I’m combining that experience with modern eLearning and AI tools, as well as scenario-based design to create digital learning that is engaging and focused on real-world application.
