Make Yourself Known

Hi everyone, my name's Jonathan. I'm a long-time member of the ELH Community, and last year I became a Director of New Leaf Technologies, the exclusive Articulate reseller for Africa. I also do contract and freelance work.

I'm a Learning Experience Designer who blends Storyline, Rise and JavaScript to create bespoke experiences. Over the years, I've spoken at DevLearn, CORE4, Learning Indaba, and World of Learning, but I enjoy speaking at Articulate events the most.  DavidAnderson​ gave me my first big break in Manchester, back in 2019!

I enjoy reading, movies, travelling, music festivals, going to the gym, and - of course - the E-Learning Heroes Challenges! But I'm on a little sabbatical while I complete a big project and prepare for my session at Articuland London next month.

I live in the UK, in a town called Stourbridge, in the West Midlands. I have been married to my wife, Katy, since 2009, and we have two kids - Matilda (15) and Henry (11). In April we took a dream trip to Japan... and I've wanted to go back ever since.

The demos I share publicly tend to be 'just for fun' and will often contain a Dad Joke. But the lessons I've learned from tinkering with the software over the years have helped me become a better, faster and more efficient designer. As I'm fond of saying, "Every day's a school day."

When I'm not here, you can find me on LinkedIn.
