PORTFOLIO SHOWCASE

Hi, I'm Mark

I create practical, learner-centered online training.

I design practical, learner-centered eLearning experiences using tools like Storyline 360, Rise 360, and Vyond. My focus is creating clean, simple, and engaging training that helps people understand what they need to know and put it into practice.

Before transitioning into instructional design, I worked for 18 years as a high school educator. That experience shaped how I approach learning design today — with clarity, relevance, and learner experience at the center of every project.

What I Do:

  • Scenario-based eLearning

  • Microlearning and job aids

  • Animated content with Vyond

  • Action mapping & instructional strategy

  • Clean, intuitive course design
