Hi, I’m Nathan! Nice to meet you.

I’m an instructional designer with a passion for blending creativity and strategy to craft engaging, meaningful learning experiences. With 10 years of experience in education, I’ve worked closely with students, educators, and staff to enhance learning through thoughtful design and technology.

My journey into instructional design is driven by my love for creativity and a desire to design immersive solutions that make learning stick. Whether developing scenario-based training, eLearning, or instructional materials, I focus on making learning both effective and engaging.

Outside of instructional design, I’m an art enthusiast with a love for all things creative—digital art, drawing, music, film, photography, and more. I geek out over new tech, enjoy hiking, sports, fitness, and challenging myself with puzzles, escape rooms, or video games. When I’m not creating, you’ll find me exploring food, getting lost in movies, or building with LEGO. And, of course, I’m always deep in Star Wars lore.

Let’s connect and bring creative ideas to life!
