Training doesn't have to be as dull as watching paint dry
Hello there! 👋
I'm Quaphee (pronounced kAH-fee).
When I first discovered the words "instructional design", I clearly remember thinking to myself, "Wait...what's that? 🤔 What's instructional design?" My curiosity got the best of me, so I went digging. The more I dug, the more I found; and the more I found, the more my chin dropped! A whole career blending learning theories, tech, design, and creativity? I'd hit the knowledge jackpot! Sign me up, now!
From my tween days of corralling neighborhood kids for pretend school, to shaping the minds of coworkers throughout my adult career, I've always had a knack for wanting to help folks learn how to do something. And if I can creatively apply technology to design something that will help someone learn, that's icing on the cake for me! (Well....maybe not icing, since I'm not a fan, but the spongy cake part...anyway, you know what I mean. HA! 🤭).
I've dabbled in various industries such as medical education, the legal industry, K12, real estate, software training, cybersecurity, etc. As I progressed in my learning design career, I developed a strong affinity for cybersecurity awareness and IT audit compliance, to the extent that I pursued a certificate in IT auditing. This skill comes in handy when I design training on this topic. And I guess you can also say I'm an IT auditor too. Hehe! 😁 Yep, that's right! It may sound like a strange combo to some, but not to me! I love what I love, and I love learning, so blame the tech cupid for shooting me with those cyber arrows! 💘
To make learning engaging and effective, I combine storytelling and technology to create realistic scenarios. These scenarios not only inspire learners but also present behavioral challenges, leading to meaningful behavior change. I’m a HUGE fan of Cathy Moore's Action Mapping. And I'm also a HUGE fan of Kimberly Goh's Interactive Storytelling. This dynamic duo has revolutionized my approach to learning design. Now, creating adult eLearning feels more targeted, exciting, purposeful, fulfilling, and a ton of fun! 😃
So, whether you need custom, engaging, and effective eLearning for your audience, or you'd like an update to your current training courses and/or materials, hey, I'm right here! I'm your eLearning guru and your training course fashionista, all rolled into one! So, don't be shy 😊; it's okay to reach out.
