Built for This
Instructional Design
I design with ADDIE and adult-learning principles, build in Articulate Storyline and Rise, and measure with Kirkpatrick. Accessible by default, for global and non-native-English learners.
Media Production
Motion graphics, 3D, 360° video and documentary. I’ve turned 2D marine diagrams into 3D training animations and produced a national brand campaign that ran on major streaming services.
Multimedia Digital Design
Anything digital, still or in motion: graphic and motion design, animation, websites and web apps, HTML email, portals, knowledge bases, and print too. My team built Carvana’s Onboarding Portal and two company-wide knowledge bases.
Program & Project Management
PMP. I trained a 13-person team on Agile and ran its sprints: 234 cross-functional projects in a year for 30,000+ employees. As Wrike admin, I built the dashboards that made project sponsorship a data call.
Creative Team Leadership
I’ve run a 9-person studio of instructional designers and media producers and led a 6-person onboarding team. I own scope, schedule, budget and crew so the creative leads do their best work.
AI-Enabled Production
I brought Synthesia, ElevenLabs and Adobe Firefly into the production pipeline to ship more without cutting quality. At Syntax Labs, I run the business on an AI agent system I designed.
The Track Record
I bring strategy, design, technology, and media together to solve problems across people, operations, and brand. Through Syntax Labs, I build digital products, websites, automations, and learning experiences — from defining the problem through design, production, and delivery.
American Bureau of Shipping
Produced 80+ technical training videos — one to three a week — in motion graphics, 3D, and 360° across passenger ship certification, alternative fuels, and product launches. Coordinated production across 8 instructional designers and worked with engineers, surveyors, 3D modelers, HSQE leads, and SMEs from brief to final delivery. Won the 2025 ABS Performance Award.
Chris Lowe Pro
Advised Honeycomb Design's founder on scaling and sales strategy, then sold its services in person at networking events. Delivered print, web, and a custom WordPress e-commerce site.
Carvana
First hire on the L&D team at 5,000 employees — still there at 30,000. Trained a 13-person cross-functional team on Agile and ran its sprints, then led a 6-person onboarding team. Touched every part of the business: logistics, inspection centers, CX, and corporate. There when Carvana hit the Fortune 500.
Blueshift Video Ltd
Made the crowdfunding video for a campaign that raised £100k to turn a Sheffield pub into a community center for vulnerable people. Delivered video and creative work for manufacturers, NLP therapists, fitness platforms, and universities across Sheffield and beyond.
