As I start back to work for the new year tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to reset ones goals and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. For many professionals, me included, this means diving back into work with renewed energy, particularly when it comes to creating innovative learning solutions. So if you’re in education, training, or corporate development, this is the season to rethink and revamp your approach to learning.
I believe that the key to successful learning solutions in 2025 will lie in adaptability and engagement. As technology evolves and learner expectations shift, the demand for personalised, interactive, and accessible learning experiences continues to grow. By incorporating new tools such as AI-driven learning platforms, gamified content, and micro learning modules, I plan to create more dynamic and effective educational environments and solutions.
This year I am going to focus on solutions which prioritise learner engagement and scalability. Integrating personalised learning paths, where the content will adapt to individual progress and preferences, helping create a more tailored and impactful experience for my audiences. Additionally, I will not overlook the power of collaboration—maybe use social learning tools, peer feedback, and of course, those who know me, I love using real-world scenarios and games to foster a sense of community and added level of engagement. So bring on the new year as I plan on offering and creating a fresh canvas of next-gen learning solutions

I love the ability where I can plan, prioritise, design, develop and deliver blended learning solutions for a variety of markets. I love to consult and advise about the best use of digital learning and improve design standards in line with evolving ways of working. I also enjoy to keep up to date with, understand and regularly recommend emerging technologies and practice to improve individuals, teams and organisational capabilities.
With over 12 years digital learning experience and demonstrated experience in both instructional design and eLearning development, I have also a lot of experience conducting training needs analysis including how to leverage principles such as design thinking and root cause analysis to understand and address performance gaps. I also have led many facilitation workshops and even presented at iDesignX and Game Developers Conferences both here in Australia, Wales and in the United States.
I bring loads of coding experience in Java, ASM, C++, HTML, JavaScript, SCORM and xAPI, as well as proven capability using Adobe Captivate, Trivantis Lectora and Articulate Storyline 360 Studio authoring programs. Of course, Adobe Creative Cloud is also part of my toolbox which I also use daily. Being taught traditional and advanced 3D animation techniques, I love hand drawing and polymer clay sculpture, but can also use the Blender, 3D Studio Max, Maya and Softimage applications.
With strong multimedia, training and programming backgrounds, I understand modern learner behaviour including micro and social learning, I am very familiar with most LMSes and app-based (XCode and Android Studio), adult learning models and e-solutions.
I also possess the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, whilst being pro-active in delivering work independently with minimal supervision, but enjoy working in teams.
I've been told I am a resilient, relationship focused guy which can manage and navigate conflicting views and stakeholders/subject matter experts.
