I design learning experiences that stick — blending cognitive science, UX thinking, and compelling storytelling to build training that actually changes behavior.
About Me
Hi, I'm Ritchie — an Instructional Designer and Learning Experience Strategist with 8+ years helping organizations transform complex knowledge into engaging, measurable learning journeys.
My approach sits at the intersection of cognitive load theory, UX design, and performance consulting. Whether I'm designing a branching Storyline simulation, a microlearning series, or a full curriculum map, I always start with the end behavior in mind and work backwards to the experience.
What I Do
From needs analysis to launch, I deliver end-to-end learning solutions tailored to your audience and business objectives.
Fully interactive SCORM/xAPI-compliant courses built in Articulate Storyline or Rise 360 — scenario-based, gamified, or microlearning formats.
End-to-end curriculum mapping aligned to performance outcomes — from competency frameworks and learning journeys to assessment strategy.
Facilitator guides, participant workbooks, and activity design for instructor-led and virtual classroom environments.
Performance gap analysis, SME interviews, and learning strategy consulting to ensure training solves the right problem.
Infographics, quick-reference cards, and on-the-job support tools that reinforce learning at the point of need.
Kirkpatrick-aligned evaluation design, LMS reporting dashboards, and data storytelling to demonstrate learning ROI.
Portfolio
A selection of recent work spanning eLearning, blended learning, and experience design across industries.
A visually rich Canvas LMS course exploring how color shapes the world around us — from how artists wield it to evoke emotion, to the psychology behind everyday design decisions. Built for students and curious creatives alike.
A near-future first-person psychological sci-fi game in which the player serves as a systems engineer aboard humanity's first resonance research station — maintaining an experiment that gradually begins to alter reality itself.
An end-to-end training program aligned to product phase gates — RTM, RTS, and GA — combining ADDIE methodology, role-based eLearning, and a feedback loop that shaped the final release.

Part of a Stevie Award–winning client training team. Architect end-to-end training solutions for Quality & Stars, Engagement Hub, and Medical Intelligence platforms — from needs analysis and content design to delivery and outcome tracking. Collaborate cross-functionally with product teams to keep materials current with every release cycle.
Championed firm-wide data literacy across a global professional services organization. Applied the ADDIE model to design micro-learning modules grounded in adult learning theory, and led UX research that produced educational journey maps optimizing learning paths for thousands of stakeholders. Spearheaded strategic branding initiatives that elevated the credibility and reach of the data literacy program.
Engineered digital learning solutions for colleges and universities on Blackboard and Canvas. Redesigned a 15-week curriculum into an intensive 8-week format without sacrificing learning outcomes, and led faculty development initiatives that accelerated LMS adoption across partner institutions.
Built immersive, interactive sales and training experiences using C#, Unreal Engine, and Unity 3D. Developed 3D models with UV mapping, designed intuitive UI/UX interfaces, and created animations that translated complex product concepts into compelling visual narratives — driving engagement across multiple digital platforms.
Focused on the intersection of design craft and digital learning — developing immersive, visually driven eLearning experiences grounded in sound instructional theory.
Built a strong visual communication foundation that continues to inform every learning experience and interface design produced today.
