Hi, I’m Dr. G — an instructional designer, learning strategist, and lifelong education enthusiast. I help people learn smarter by creating experiences that are clear, meaningful, and genuinely enjoyable.

What I Do

I design learning.
That means shaping ideas, content, and technology into training that actually works. Whether it’s a full eLearning course, a micro-module, or a simple job aid, my goal is always the same: make learning easier, more intuitive, and impossible to forget.

I work across instructional design, UX for learning, content strategy, and course development. If it helps people understand something faster or more clearly, I’m probably obsessed with it.

How I Work

My approach blends:

  • Learning theory (like constructivism and cognitive load principles)
  • User experience design
  • Practical analysis of what learners actually need
  • A healthy amount of creativity

I’m known for being able to look at a course and instantly spot what will help a learner engage — and what might hold them back.

A Few Fun Facts

  • Favorite Tools: Articulate Rise & Storyline — clean, flexible, and perfect for building learning that feels modern.
  • Unique Skill: I can evaluate the effectiveness of a course in under 30 seconds.
  • Favorite Learning Theory: Constructivism — because people learn best when they’re building their own understanding, not just consuming information.
  • Most Quoted Reminder: “The forgetting curve is real.”
  • Coffee or Tea? Both. Coffee for momentum, tea for balance, and deadlines for… more coffee and tea.

My Philosophy

Every learner has a spark. Instructional design is how we turn that spark into confidence, clarity, and capability.

Whether I’m creating a bite-sized explainer or a full curriculum, I focus on building experiences that:

  • Respect the learner’s time
  • Reduce overwhelm
  • Encourage exploration
  • Make learning feel human

Because when learning feels good, everything else falls into place.
