Learning Experience Designer / eLearning Developer / Learning Consultant

A little back story...
After studying Marketing, I found my calling in L&D and never looked back. I evolved from a corporate facilitator into a Senior Instructional Designer at Zillow Group, where I spent five years driving learning strategy for company-wide change management, onboarding, and compliance programs. My goal has always been simple: turn dry training into engaging, high-impact experiences people actually enjoy.
What I'm doing now...
In 2024, I transitioned into freelance consulting as an LX Designer. I help small businesses create engaging learning resources from scratch, and partner with established L&D teams to jump in and tackle high-priority projects when bandwidth is tight.
