Hi, I’m Derek — an instructional designer with experience spanning engineering, construction, education, and design. This interdisciplinary background allows me to approach learning challenges with both analytical precision and creative clarity. I specialize in translating complex systems into practical, performance-aligned training solutions that are grounded in adult learning science.
My process is grounded in performance analysis, stakeholder collaboration, and measurable outcomes.
• Diagnose performance gaps before building content
• Partner closely with subject-matter experts
• Translate complex systems into structured learning paths
• Align instruction to measurable outcomes
• Design scalable, performance-focused solutions
• Refine based on real-world results
My background in engineering, construction, education, and regulated utility environments informs how I design learning.
I understand how technical professionals think — how workflows are structured, where breakdowns occur, and how compliance requirements shape performance expectations. This perspective allows me to translate dense technical systems into structured, performance-aligned learning solutions that support clarity, precision, and operational consistency.
