About The Art of Learning Design
I'm not your typical training consultant.
Most training fails because it's designed by people who've never done the job. Beautiful slides. Polished modules. Zero connection to how work actually happens.
I'm different.
The Art of Learning Design was founded on a simple belief: training should mirror real work, not theory. I've been inside the systems—Ice Technologies, Black Knight, Calyx, Byte, LOS platforms. I've mapped exception workflows. I've sat with underwriters, processors, loan officers, operations teams, and frontline employees.
I don't design training from a conference room. I design it from reality.
After 15+ years in operations and learning design, I watched companies waste millions on training that looked impressive but didn't stick. New hires struggled. Leaders blamed "bad hires." Training got more content, not better systems.
Nobody was fixing the root problem: training that's disconnected from workflow doesn't work.
So I founded The Art of Learning Design™ to do what others can't—turn broken, scattered training into clear, repeatable learning ecosystems that actually improve performance.
MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT:
I Start with the Business Problem, Not Assumptions
Most consultants start with what they think you need. I start with diagnosing where performance actually breaks and why training isn't working.
I Design for Real Workflows, Not Ideal Scenarios
Your employees don't work in ideal conditions. They face interruptions, system glitches, exceptions, and judgment calls. I design training that prepares them for reality.
I Build Systems, Not One-Off Modules
Scattered PDFs and random slide decks aren't training—they're chaos with a label. I create comprehensive learning ecosystems: curriculum, SOPs, job aids, checkpoints, and performance support tools.
I Measure Performance, Not Completion
100% course completion means nothing if employees still can't do the job. I track time to competence, error rates, manager confidence, and business impact.
I Speak Both "System" and "People" Languages
I understand your platforms, your workflows, your compliance requirements—and I know how adults actually learn. That's the bridge most training companies can't cross.
WHY WORK WITH ME?
- You're tired of training that doesn't stick
- Your new hires take too long to ramp up
- Your SMEs are drowning in retraining the same concepts

- You want measurable results, not just completed modules
THE RESULT
When you work with The Art of Learning Design, you get:
- Faster ramp-up times (weeks, not months)
- Fewer costly errors and rework
- Clear expectations and consistent performance
- Confident employees who know what to do
- SMEs who can focus on their actual jobs
- Training that scales without burning out your team

- Any environment where mistakes cost time, money, or compliance risk
If your organization fits this description, let's talk.
What I Do:
Turn Broken Training Into Performance Systems
I don't just create training. I diagnose root causes, design learning ecosystems, and build systems that support real performance—not checkboxes.
Here's how I help:
LEARNING ECOSYSTEM AUDIT
Find Out Where Training Actually Breaks
Most organizations know their training isn't working. They don't know why.
I conduct a comprehensive audit of your current training system to identify:
✓ Where performance gaps actually exist
✓ Why training isn't sticking
✓ What's missing, broken, or ignored
✓ Where your biggest ROI opportunities are
✓ What to fix first for maximum impact
WHAT YOU GET:
→ 30-60 minute diagnostic interview
→ Analysis of your current training materials and processes
→ Written gap analysis with prioritized recommendations
→ Clear roadmap for improvement
→ No-obligation, strategic insights you can act on immediately
INVESTMENT: Starting at $3,500
IDEAL FOR:
Organizations that know training is broken but don't know where to start.
ONBOARDING & TRAINING REDESIGN
Replace Shadowing and Guesswork with Structure
Your new hires "finish training" but still can't do the job. That's not a hiring problem—it's a training design problem.
I rebuild onboarding and training programs from the ground up to:
✓ Mirror real workflows and decision-making processes
✓ Build competence through structured practice, not just information dumps
✓ Include checkpoints that measure actual skill, not just knowledge
✓ Reduce time-to-productivity by 30-50%
✓ Free your SMEs from constant retraining
WHAT YOU GET:
→ Complete onboarding curriculum with learning paths
→ Role-based training sequences
→ Job aids, checklists, and reference tools employees actually use
→ Performance checkpoints and assessment criteria
→ Manager guides and coaching frameworks
→ Implementation support and rollout planning
INVESTMENT: $7,500 – $25,000+ (depending on complexity and scope)
IDEAL FOR:
Organizations with high turnover, slow ramp times, or inconsistent performance across new hires.
CURRICULUM ARCHITECTURE & SOP DESIGN
Build the Foundation for Scalable Training
You can't scale training built on tribal knowledge and scattered documents.
I create comprehensive learning architectures that include:
✓ Role-based curriculum maps and learning paths
✓ Standard operating procedures (SOPs) that match real workflows
✓ Job aids and performance support tools for on-the-job reference
✓ System-aligned training tied to your actual platforms and processes
✓ Exception handling documentation (the stuff training always skips)
WHAT YOU GET:
→ Complete curriculum architecture across all roles
→ SOPs written for clarity and usability (not compliance theater)
→ Quick-reference job aids for common tasks and edge cases
→ Training material library organized for easy access and updates
→ Scalable framework that grows with your organization
INVESTMENT: Custom-scoped based on roles, complexity, and volume
IDEAL FOR:
Fast-growing organizations that need training infrastructure to scale without chaos.
IMPLEMENTATION & ENABLEMENT SUPPORT
Make Sure Your Training Actually Gets Used
Great training materials don't matter if they sit unused.
I support successful rollout and adoption by:
✓ Creating implementation plans that fit your operational reality
✓ Training your trainers and managers to deliver effectively
✓ Building adoption and change management strategies
✓ Establishing performance measurement and feedback loops
✓ Optimizing based on real-world usage and results
WHAT YOU GET:
→ Rollout strategy and timeline
→ Train-the-trainer sessions and coaching
→ Manager enablement and performance conversation guides
→ Measurement framework to track impact
→ Ongoing optimization support
INVESTMENT: Included in redesign projects or available as standalone service
IDEAL FOR:
Organizations that have invested in training before and watched it fail due to poor adoption.
