I design curriculum that turns new skills into practice.

About

Most organisations hold a great deal of expertise in a few people's heads. I turn that expertise into clear material that frontline teams can pick up and use. My route here ran through teaching English in Japan, studying environment and development, and data science and curriculum work at Moringa School.

I have built technical curriculum, training for NGO partners and operational documentation. The learners often had patchy internet and small budgets, and an unclear guide had real consequences for them. I have shipped programmes end to end and managed up to three programme portfolios at once.

Every project follows three habits:

• Turn expert knowledge into clear, usable material
• Design for the real conditions learners work in
• Test with real people and keep improving after launch

Work with me

I work with L&D teams, NGOs, training providers and edtech companies. The first four offers suit organisations, and the fifth is for individuals.

• Needs analysis and solution auditWe start with what your learners need to do and where they struggle, then review the tools and content you already have. You receive a clear recommendation and a plan you can act on.
• Pilot moduleOne accessible, assessed module built in Articulate Rise 360 and exported to your LMS as SCORM. Test it with real learners before you commit to a full programme.
• Programme design and deliveryCurriculum, assessments, facilitator guides and rollout, managed end to end. I have shipped 6+ programmes this way.
• Accessibility reviewI review your existing courses and materials and return a prioritised list of fixes, backed by my assistive technology certification. Try the free Before You Publish checklist.
• Career design sessionsFor people changing direction. We map what carries over from earlier roles and design the next step as a small experiment.
