Hi, I'm Madison
I’m a learning experience designer transitioning from teaching to corporate instructional design. I build performance-focused microlearning and eLearning using evidence-based practices, adult learning principles, and tools like Articulate Rise 360 to create engaging, applicable learning experiences.

I've also had the opportunity to create learning resources for K–12 students and teachers, which has really helped me grow as a designer. Working with younger learners challenged me to break down complex ideas into simple, engaging pieces and to think more creatively about how to keep different types of learners interested.
