First Win Lab (Interactive prototype)

1) Project Brief

First Win Lab Design Brief

A short overview of a microlearning experience called First Win Lab: what it is, the problem it solves (getting people to type their first prompt in an AI tool), and the three learning outcomes (start, refine once, save for reuse). The project brief includes the key design decisions and a short style guide.

2) Video Primer

Fast Win Lab Intro

A quick explainer video that shows what you’ll do in the lab: choose a use case, add context, run a prompt, refine once, and save a reusable template. The video has a minimal, UI-first design and is skippable. Designed with the usual Adobe suspects: After Affects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator and some Figma.

3) The App

First Win Lab App

A short, hands-on experience that helps a first-time user go from a blank chat box to a usable output in minutes. It is intentionally designed to feel like a product experience, not eLearning.

The prototype uses live AI output (API), guided tips, a single refinement step, a quick quality check, and an option to save the prompt and add a calendar reminder to support repeat use

The Anatomy of Coffee

Anatomy of Coffee

This short module is part of a larger blended-learning course for baristas on coffee making knowledge and customer service. Module 2, The Anatomy of Coffee guides learners through espresso, cappuccino, and flat white preparation and brings together coffee knowledge with hands-on practice. I developed this using Articulate Rise and Storyline along with some custom graphics and JavaScript. It includes animated videos and tactile, interactive coffee making interactions. 

AI for L&D - A 5-Minute Guide (2023)

AI in LD

This is a 5-minute microlearning course that explores the use of AI in learning and development, following the ROPES instructional model. It focuses on three key applications of AI in L&D (as of EOY 2023), illustrated with examples. Developed using Articulate Rise, the course features animations made with Vyond, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. It also includes a downloadable job aid for practical application. 

Sophie the French Reading Guide

AI for LD Quick Start Guide

This is a Proof of Concept I’m currently working on to help my 7-year-old daughter learn French. In addition to using the full Javascript capabilities of Articulate Storyline, this course uses speech-to-text, Python scripting, and AI (in this case GPT 5.2) to provide a personalized language learning experience.

The avatar, Sophie, was designed with Adobe’s Character Animator. This is mostly focused on language learning, but I reckon the architecture of this project is versatile enough to support a range of scenario-based learning situations like behavioral interviews, customer service, or product training, especially when integrated with an SQL database. 

Videos

Cappuccino and How to Make It

Cappuccino

A short 2D animated video on the history of cappuccino and an instructional guide on how to prepare it. This was made using Premiere Pro, Vyond, After Effects and other Adobe Suite programs (PS, AI, and Audition). 

Promotional Video (espritEducate)

espritEducate Promo

espritEducate isn’t a business, but if it had a marketing video, it would probably look something like this. This was made for fun using Premiere Pro, Vyond, After Effects and other Adobe Suite programs (PS, AI, and Audition). 

Taplee Opening Credits

Getting to Know Your Role

These are the opening credits for an original children’s animated TV series I’m developing, Taplee. The animation is built with Illustrator artwork in Adobe Animate, then animated frame by frame (yikes!). I wrote and recorded the theme song in Logic. 

This is a passion project that will take a while. Don’t they all?

 

 

Job Aids

The Realities of Workplace Learning in 2025

Workday Job Aid PDF

This nine-slide LinkedIn carousel explores why continuous learning—not college degrees—is the engine of career and business growth. I made this with PowerPoint and Illustrator, with the goal of turning some simple stats around learning into a data story. Visually the idea was to blend icons with charters where possible.

AI for L&D - A Quick
Reference Guide (2023)

AI for LD Quick Start Guide

A good job aid should generally follow a few principles. Here, I try to use a clear, color-coded matrix design, aligning three key roles of an instructional designer with each benefit. This was created in PowerPoint. It follows the ‘rule of threes,’ (the content is organized into three distinct chunks). Following a Z-pattern, the layout guides the viewer’s eye, while the use of chunking breaks each theme into accessible elements.

Data learning series: Part 1 - Storytelling

Data storytelling VILT

This is a Google Slides deck I created for the first of three virtual instructor-led sessions (VILTs) on data literacy. It’s designed for simplicity, using minimal text and bold color cues to facilitate participant interaction and underscore key learning points. A good deck comes with easy facilitator notes, including cues for transitions and audience engagement.
