Hi, I’m John
I am an Instructional Designer and educational consultant specializing in engagement and user-intuitive design. With over a decade of experience teaching in K-12 classrooms, I've honed my skills through hands-on action-research, tailoring educational programs to suit diverse learner needs. Building a positive community culture has always been close to my heart, and I'm proud to have served as a teacher trainer and instructional designer for six consecutive years.
My passion for e-learning took flight during my tenure at Summit Public Schools, where I immersed myself in their cutting-edge tech-forward education model.
During my time as a founding member of the Digital Education Team at KENDO Brands, I worked with well-known makeup and skincare brands like FENTY, Ole Henriksen, KVD, and LIP LAB. I optimized accessibility for the company's learning platform and crafted a dynamic array of materials and templates that resonated strongly with a global audience, earning endorsements and praise worldwide.
I have found that successful learning programs hinge on meticulous research, well-defined success metrics, robust feedback mechanisms, and thorough assessment analysis. These elements ensure quality assurance and inform strategic decision-making, fostering an environment where authentic learning can thrive.
Outside of work I can be found traveling, playing video games, reading horror manga, practicing new recipes for friends, or adventuring with my partner and our Chihuahua, Miso in sunny San Mateo, California.
