Hello, E-Learning Heroes!

Crystal from South Dakota here!

I have professional expertise in publishing, communications, design, and education. I've worked as a writer, editor, publication designer, and educator, and I'm now transitioning into instructional design and learning experience design.

I love taking complex information, finding meaningful connections, and organizing it into something clear, engaging, and useful. I enjoy working with both the big picture and all the little pieces that make it work.

Also, TYPOGRAPHY! Wanna talk fonts? Page design hierarchy? Yes, please.

I've designed entire publications, developed curriculum and instructional materials, written assessments, and created interactive learning activities. I'm here to explore new tools and discover new ways to design learning experiences.

  • Welcome CrystalCreates​! What a cool background that I feel like will lend itself so well to this transition! Is there anything specific you plan to work on first? I'd be happy to help point you to some resources! 

    One thing you might be interested in is our Peer Pod Program. We will have a new cohort starting in January, focused on connecting people new to instructional design!

    Welcome, Crystal! Your background makes you perfect for instructional design. I also have a passion for making the complex comprehensible. You sound incredibly knowledgeable and creative. I like your approach to design! Well, you're in good company here at ELH. I've been here for a couple of weeks and the community is amazingly innovative and supportive. Anyways, welcome and I wish you all the best on your new journey! Let me know if you have any questions. Take good care.
