About Me
I’m an experienced Graphic Designer and award-winning Digital Learning Developer with a large array of digital skills.
I have eight years of experience designing, building, and publishing digital learning, especially with the Articulate 360 suite, including Storyline and Rise. I am also familiar with Adobe Captivate and Evolve.
I’m at home in the Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and After Effects.
I have a strong understanding of the principles of adult learning theory.
I have studied colour theory, graphic design principles, and have considerable artistic ability.
I can code in Javascript and HTML to a novice standard.
Though I specialise in digital learning, I have experience in web design, animation, infographic design, AutoCAD, social media management, 3D modelling and even stop motion animation. This reflects my greatest strength: my ability to pick up new skills and put them to effective use.
Outside of work I am usually cooking, baking, or mixing drinks in my kitchen, pulling up weeds at the allotment, or sat at my desk writing stories and trying in vain to become a published author.
Employment History
Quadmark
Training and learning consultancy firm
Date: October 2020 - Present
Role: Designer/Animator
Key clients: Google, Android, Avepoint, Samsung
Description:
I joined Quadmark’s Storyline team in December 2022 to help tackle the increasing workload from Google, their key client.
Since then, I have worked on many GPS (Google People Services) and GRT (Google Retail Training) courses, as well as onboarding material for Avepoint and further retail training for Android and Samsung.
Because of my skills in other areas, especially design, animation, and English proofreading, I am frequently asked to assist with other areas of the business during periods of high workload, which I am happy to do so.
Responsibilities:
-
Building, publishing, and maintaining high quality training solutions for big clients in the tech industry.
-
Assisting the Design and Video teams during periods of high workload.
-
Publishing a catalogue of pre-fabricated games and interactions.
-
Expanding our technological capabilities by experimenting with new tools and methods, such as 360/photosphere images and incorporating 3D models into Storyline builds.
Accomplishments
-
Shared knowledge of accessibility guidelines to bring Quadmark’s Storyline team up-to-date with UK accessibility laws.
-
Continued to integrate Javascript into my workflow, making Storyline a more powerful tool.
Limehouse Films
Film production company
Date: October 2020 - Present
Role: Designer/Animator
Key clients: NHS, Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Cifas, Elsevier, Nestlé
Description:
Though I initially joined the Limehouse team on a six month contract, the terms of my employment were updated to a permanent position after only three months. While my official job title was ‘Designer/Animator’, most of my time at Limehouse Films was spent creating bespoke learning content for a multitude of clients, which is something the company had never done prior to my arrival. These projects have all been overwhelmingly successful and have led to an influx of new opportunities in the industry. As a result, Limehouse expanded their digital learning team by hiring a new Storyline developer in March 2022, who I mentored until November 2022 when I left the company.
Responsibilities:
-
Designing, storyboarding and creating animations in Adobe After Effects.
-
Producing high-quality graphics, both for web and print.
-
Designing and building bespoke e-learning content using Articulate Storyline.
-
Training new staff on how to build learning that meets Limehouse’s standards.
Accomplishments
-
I facilitated Limehouse’s emergence into the e-learning industry and helped to establish them as a serious competitor to other e-learning companies in the UK
-
Limehouse’s first major e-learning project—a three-part cyber security suite for a UK high street bank—was viewed 6000 times within the first week with no technical issues
-
As the only member of the Limehouse team with any experience in e-learning, it is always up to me to solve any issues that arise with our e-learning products. To date, I have never failed to fix a problem that might otherwise prevent a customer from accessing their new product. Some examples are:
-
I used Javascript to fix an issue that cropped up when learners tried to play a module in Internet Explorer. I’d never used Javascript before, but have since taken to studying it on codecademy.com
-
I fixed an issue where a particular scene always caused the module to crash while viewing it on an iPad. I discovered that the underlying cause was multiple layers on a single slide, each with a video on them. I fixed it by moving the videos to individual slides
-
Virtual College Ltd
Award-winning e-Learning company based in Ilkley.
Date: March 2015 - August 2020

-

-
Creating graphical videos in After Effects.
-
Creating resources in InDesign.
-
Editing and optimising images in Photoshop.
​Accomplishments:
-
I was instrumental in the shift to full WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.0 compliance, thus negating the potential risk of disabled learners filing lawsuits against Virtual College.
-
I created content that helped Virtual College win:
-
The silver award for Best use of Technology at the 2020 Training Journal Awards in recognition of the Fujitsu project
-
The Learning Technologies Gold award in 2017 in recognition of the Recognising and Preventing FGM project
-
-
I ran support sessions for the Graphic Designers and Instructional Designers, which resulted in greater cohesion between the two teams and a more positive work environment.​
