Developing Meaningful and Engaging Learning Experiences

About

I design and develop visually compelling blended learning solutions hinging on my ability to be critical, perceptive and to distinguish patterns by forging ideas that are emotionally meaningful as well as practical. I create a form of positive expression through means beyond words or symbols.

I operate with a human-centred, goal-oriented approach where I analyse and distinguish learning strategies by revealing inert requirements, behaviours and cravings. I am passionate about contributing to learning initiatives by designing and developing tools for practical purposes rather than just for mindless consumption.

Stellar Sound Foundation

Stellar Sound Foundation is an arts and culture non-governmental organization based in the Netherlands. We are dedicated and actively engaged in supporting and improving content in the music industry by empowering musicians, supporting racial and gender diversity, showcasing and creating modern art that is combining the latest technology and modern media.

I designed and developed a SCORM compatible employee onboarding course to guide the organisation’s new hires. The primary module features interactive elements and custom graphics which assists in educating employees on new hire requirements, their rights and responsibilities as employees. The integrated secondary module was developed in Storyline and consists of a Gamified Knowledge Check. I run the course via Moodle LMS where I also track and evaluate data related to quiz scores, pass/fail rate, completion rate, time spent and surveys.

The Valene Black Mamba is a technologically advanced superlight unique sports car aimed at speed and fun loving individuals. Offering simplicity, unparalleled performance, safety, looks and most importantly, a truly unconventional driving experience with the safety and comfort offered by a car and the thrills of a motorbike cruise.

Meeting with important stakeholders aided in my comprehension of their business issues. I established a shared vision for the app by identifying risks, coordinating expectations, and building consensus. A strategy for the user experience was then created, defining my phased approach. This inspired a ton of brilliant ideas, early team cohesiveness, and a strong sense of ownership across several disciplines.

With the help of two project managers and a lead designer, I was able to translate ideas into features that address the behaviors and motivations of customers. For the purpose of communicating the vision, design principles and content strategy, I developed frameworks and prototypes. Decision-making was driven, ideas were converted and stakeholders were aligned as a result. 

Along with project management, I defined the product. I promoted consumer goals and well-balanced business goals where I also prioritized and recommended features for launch and post-launch. To translate product features for each platform setting, I partnered with two designers and their PM where I eventually executed journeys, wireframes, prototypes and design specs.

I collaborated closely with our developer to create a functioning prototype from our concepts. An efficient technique to resolve the Interaction Design was through face-to-face requirements communication and discussion of limitations and opportunities. Collaboration, continuous testing, and progressive iteration were all practices during our work.

Throughout the course of the project, I created and presented materials to win the support of key stakeholders.
