This page contains three examples of my work. I developed all graphics, animation, interactivities, and I even wrote the voiceover narration where applicable.

This is a chapter from a course I built to onboard new employees at a medical device company. This section gives a birds-eye-view of product development using the Stage-Gate System. The purpose was to teach new employees the basics of product development. They would then have a starting point for understanding medical device product development. The module was built using Storyline 360 and the Adobe suite of products.  I developed all graphics, animation, and I even wrote and narrated the voice-over.

This is a crossword puzzle interaction I built using Storyline 360 for a client company many years ago. It was part of a push I made to feature more interactivities in the work we did for our clients. I aimed to show them that we could do more than Storyline's built-in offerings. 
I streamlined the crossword's functionality using Javascript in conjunction with Storyline's trigger system for building custom interactivities. Specifically the JavaScript snippets I added allow the user to use the "Tab" key to advance through the crossword letterboxes, and "Shift + Tab" key combination to navigate the browser focus backwards. The JavaScript also ensures only the first letter character entered is accepted, while extra characters and numbers are cleared.
A thorough module on the elusive concept of unconscious bias that I helped develop. Building this module was a collaborative effort I undertook with the new Diversity and Inclusiveness department at a corporation I once worked for. The target audience was all employees company-wide, and the goal was to increase awareness of how employees regarded and treated one another.
The online module was modeled after an in-person presentation and begins by attempting to opening the learners' eyes to their own biases. From there it seeks to challenge learners to regularly check consciously that these inborn biases are not influencing them.
