A Career in Learning Design

This project started with a simple idea — what if you could follow one person's entire learning design career, step by step?

"The ID Path” is a character-based experience that follows the fictional career journey of Olivia Wilson, a learning designer whose path begins as a Junior ID Assistant and evolves into a leadership role as a Chief Learning Strategist. The goal is to highlight not just career progression, but also how responsibilities and skills evolve along the way.

About the project

Viewers can explore five key roles from Olivia’s career using a timeline of circular photo icons. Each click opens a Polaroid-style pop-out layer where Olivia’s portrait is paired with a brief story and three key skills that define that stage.

The character pop-out effect is used within each profile layer.

Implementation

The character and portraits were created using ChatGPT and AI image tools, simulating a consistent persona as she grows across decades. Layout, voiceover, and accent colors were designed to keep the interaction simple, warm, and story-driven.
