KK from Ireland/India
Hi everyone, I’m Kartikay. KK is easier. I’m currently based in Ireland.
I’ve spent almost a decade working in the EdTech space in India, mainly in the school education sector. My work has involved designing end-to-end learning content across digital and physical formats, including e-learning modules, textbooks, and mobile learning apps. My core strength is translating complex or abstract ideas into clear, engaging visuals and structured learning experiences.
I’m especially happy to help with instructional design thinking, content structuring, storyboarding, and turning subject matter inputs into learner-friendly content.
I’ve joined E-Learning Heroes to deepen my skills with Articulate tools and to learn from practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of learning design. I’m looking forward to exchanging ideas and improving the craft together.

Hi KK, nice to meet you :)
So nice to see you dropping an intro for yourself and ALSO extending a warm welcome to KKishere!
What a great intro KKishere! My interest is piqued by the idea of translating complex ideas into engaging visuals—wondering if you have an example of your work you could share that illustrates this idea well?
Based on your share, I think you are going to really like digging around the Share Examples space here in the community (under the Connect tab). There are tons of envelope-pushing projects folks are sharing there that I think you will really like.Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I really appreciate that.
I’d love to share examples, but unfortunately, most of the visual work I’m proudest of sits behind company IP, so I’m not able to post actual artefacts here. That said, I’m happy to describe the thinking behind some of it.
A lot of my work involved abstract or value-driven ideas, especially in civic and political education for school learners. Concepts like equality, perspective, bias, or power structures are hard to explain through text alone. I often leaned on simple visual metaphors and sequencing to make these ideas tangible. For example, using shifts in camera angle, scale, or framing to show how the same situation looks different depending on where you stand. Or contrasting parallel visuals to surface inequity without spelling it out explicitly.
I’ve been heavily inspired by how some TED-style talks use visuals. Not decorative slides, but visuals that do cognitive work and help learners form mental models. That approach has shaped how I storyboard learning experiences, even when the final output is an interactive module rather than a presentation.
I’m really looking forward to exploring the Share Examples space you mentioned. Seeing how others push the boundaries will be a great way to keep sharpening this craft, and I hope to contribute conceptual breakdowns or process insights even when I can’t share final visuals.
KKishere, welcome. And, I look forward to learning from your deep expertise in the field. See you around the ELH 'water cooler.'
