Welcome to my porfolio, my name is Susan! I’m an Instructional Designer specializing in eLearning, with experience designing for both higher education and corporate audiences. Before moving into instructional design, I spent several years as a Montessori teacher, and that time in the classroom still shapes how I build every learning experience.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a master’s in Educational Technology from Concordia University in Montréal, Québec.

Growing up surrounded by artists and designers, I developed a natural inclination to approach challenges with creativity, curiosity, and a design perspective. My experience as a Montessori teacher further shaped my learner-centered philosophy, ensuring that every learning experience is attractive, meaningful and designed to meet a range of diverse needs. Complementing this, my years as a professional ballerina nurtured a strong creative side, allowing me to blend artistry with practicality in my work. Together, these experiences have deeply influenced my thoughtful and innovative approach to instructional design.
My technical expertise includes proficiency in Rise and Articulate 360, and the full Adobe Suite, enabling me to create visually compelling and interactive learning materials. Take a look at my portfolio to learn more about my creative process, and to see samples of my work!
