My career compass may spin wildly, but it always leads with purpose.

After journeying through corporate jungles, climbing the mountains of problem-solving, and sailing the (occasionally) stormy seas of project management, I've arrived at my current destination as a navigator of L&D experiences.

Building upon my BBAs in Marketing and Management & Organizations, between my career pivots, I've gone back to school for both UX Design and most recently, Instructional Design & eLearning Development.

My career story is a long one, so I simplified it with images. Follow my winding path below:

eLearning Development

In developing these eLearning samples, I took a very structured and conventional Instructional Design approach, starting with a design document, building out a storyboard, then finally developing the course.

Storyline Sample

I created this course after receiving a flyer that was distributed to residents about the village's recycling rules. With so much overwhelming information in a tiny font, I couldn't imagine how the flyer was affective, so I turned it into something more exciting and digestible for residents.

Rise Sample

This was a fun concept project that I developed for the non-science employees of a pharma company who are unfamiliar with the guidelines for naming a generic drug.  NOTE: The content I used is based on an article from a pharma company that outlined their own guidelines.

Microlearning

The courses below fall somewhere between eLearning and Microlearning. I took a less structured approach than the eLearning samples above, as these were mostly experimental pet projects. I used a variety of programs to create the finished product:

Creating these courses presented valuable lessons to see what is possible when you develop eLearning across multiple platforms.  While the development processes had some tricky limitations to work around, the (almost) final products turned out well.

This is a software training that explains how to assess new items and add them into the inventory system in a very old version of QuickBooks.  This project is ongoing; job aids will be created for quick reference, as well as a Storyline training that allows the learner to try adding a new item.

I was inspired to develop this course after seeing a Facebook post from my favorite food blogger that addressed some of her unruly followers. Initially, this was supposed to be a small "how to" course. It took a turn when I decided to create it as a game show to make it more engaging. NOTE: This course is an ongoing work in progress.

Instructional Design

To see my Instructional Design samples (design documents, storyboards), please request via email at JHPtheLXD@gmail.com and I'll happily share the full samples.

Let's connect! Well, maybe.

Unpopular opinion - I'm not a fan of present-day LinkedIn. Am I on LinkedIn? Of course. Do I regularly use it? Nope. 

I'll spare you my hot takes about LinkedIn, unless you really want to hear 'em! Unlike LinkedIn, I value the quality of my connections over the quantity of Internet strangers I could connect with on LinkedIn. But, it's the best available option.

That's all, folks! 

Like what you see? Hate what you see? I'd appreciate the feedback! Give me the good, the bad, the ugly at JHPtheLXD@gmail.com.

Like most things, this portfolio is an ongoing work-in-progress. Check back for new and/or improved samples, or get in touch!
