Nicole standing front-facing with arms cross and smiling

Welcome. I'm Nicole, an independent learning consultant specializing in learner and user experience design. I partner with companies to determine the best approach to solving training needs. I combine my knowledge of learning science and digital technology to create effective learning tools.

I design effective learning tools.

Throughout my two-decade career, I have served in many roles including media producer, digital artist, and project manager. I can create a beginning-to-end training product or plug in as a member of your production team at any step of the product life cycle from research to testing. I'd love to hear from you and see how we can partner together!

"I've worked with many instructional designers over the years and Nicole is truly one of the very best. What makes Nicole unique is her ability to execute on every part of the project skillfully. She has designed creative learning interactions, written professional voiceover scripts, developed complex elearning modules (using triggers, variables, and states) in Storyline, and tied everything together with a professional, polished, and modern visual look and feel. Nicole is an excellent communicator and I look forward to partnering with her on many future projects to come."

"Working with Nicole is always a pleasure. Her instructional design approaches have consistently guided our team to produce top-quality training courses. Her attention to detail, creativity, and willingness to go above and beyond makes her an exceptional team member. On our previous projects, she worked tirelessly to ensure that they were engaging experiences and not just a series of screens with information, which is always the challenge, as the provided materials are often dry and unrelatable."

"Nicole is the real deal. She is organized, precise, and easy to work with. I've watched her build complex projects and design documents from scratch, and she is helping me design the curriculum for my paid instructional design courses. If you're looking for an instructional designer who advocates for the learner and knows how to add value with her well-developed ID skillset, then Nicole is the consultant for you."

"Nicole has shown time and time again that she can listen to the client, and even with the most abstract information, deliver a powerful and professional path forward to a successful and very well received online course. Her commitment to excellence and a passion for training really shines through. Illumen has worked on several challenging projects with Nicole and plan many more in the future."

"I’ve had the opportunity to see how Nicole draws on her knowledge and experience to craft projects that apply the most applicable theory and style for the right reasons. She strives for absolute excellence, but I have never seen that desire for quality hinder her progress. The people she has coached and mentored regularly reach back out to her for her expertise. Nicole perfectly balances professional skills with building personal relationships with everyone around her, be it clients, coworkers, or mentees. This balance at such a high level makes Nicole wonderful to work with."
