Work Experience

Marketing Consultant — Multimedia Content Production at Simplicity Consulting (contract to Microsoft, MCAPS)
August 1, 2025 - Present
Produced short-form, AI-driven onboarding video content for Microsoft’s MCAPS sales-onboarding hub, delivering executive- and role-based learning for a global field organization. Built a fully AI-assisted production workflow using Synthesia avatars, AI voice/video generation, and Copilot-assisted scripting to compress traditional shoot-and-edit cycles. Designed and produced a self-service enablement series that teaches subject-matter experts to self-produce professional video from scripting through delivery.
Director of Video & Content Development at Total Seminars
August 1, 2024 - Present
Architected ACE (AI-Assisted Content Engine), a reusable AI-accelerated production system to scale an annual slate of certification-level technical courses, including operating model, governance/RACI, and playbooks. Directed generative and rule-based AI within a secure, in-tenant workflow (Microsoft 365/SharePoint, speech-to-text, automated captioning, Premiere conform) with human-gated QC at each handoff. Reclaimed ~1,000 skilled-editor hours and drove ~1,250 manual rough-cut hours toward zero across ~10 series/500+ episodes by building the throughput business case, absorbing the 2026 slate without new hires. Authored executive-facing scope documents, one-pagers, and operating models to win cross-functional buy-in and investment.

Qualifications

Instructional Design Manager
June 1, 2012 - July 29, 2026
Instructional design leadership built on 20+ years of practice, not theory. I design certification-level curricula for technical professional audiences — CompTIA, PMP, CISM — where content must survive expert scrutiny and carry learners through high-stakes exams. Full-lifecycle fluency: ADDIE, Bloom's-aligned objectives, adult learning theory, competency-based design, assessments and rubrics, instructor- and student-facing materials, and blended/e-learning at production scale. As Director of Content Development at Vector Solutions (2011–2022), I led a team of designers, authors, and producers building a full e-learning courseware library for compliance-driven industries, growing developed media output 85% through KPI analytics and evaluation. Today I pair that foundation with AI-assisted content development — I architected ACE, a governed production engine that scales certification-grade instruction across 500+ episodes a year — and I partner daily with SMEs to turn deep technical expertise into clear, measurable learning. My differentiator: I manage instructional design as a system — playbooks, quality gates, and metrics — so quality holds at volume and improvement compounds.
Master Motion Graphics Designer
July 29, 2026 - July 29, 2026
Master-level motion graphics built on 25 years of production and validated in the market: four 2022 Silver Telly Awards, including two for Use of Animation and two in Immersive & Mixed Reality. I work in After Effects daily — animated explainers, kinetic type, lower-thirds systems, UI/screen simulations, 2D/3D-integrated sequences, and broadcast-ready motion branding — alongside the full Adobe Creative Suite, with Premiere finishing and template systems that keep motion consistent across 500+ episodes a year. My design foundation runs deeper than animation mechanics: I build motion for instruction and persuasion, using 20+ years of visual storytelling and adult-learning craft to make complex technical concepts land in seconds. And I extend the toolkit with AI-assisted motion workflows — generative b-roll, style frames, and asset creation through Runway, ComfyUI, and Flux — feeding into governed, brand-safe pipelines. The result: motion graphics that don't just look premium, but perform — at volume, on deadline, inside brand.
Adobe Creative Suite Video Production Expert
July 1, 2006 - July 29, 2026
Expert-level video production across the Adobe Creative Suite, integrated as one pipeline rather than separate tools: 20+ years of daily Premiere Pro editing; master-level After Effects motion graphics recognized with four Silver Telly Awards; and Photoshop and Illustrator design work feeding titles, brand assets, and graphics directly into the edit. I don't just operate the apps — I architect production systems around them: template and preset libraries, motion-graphics toolkits, and Premiere conform workflows that hold brand consistency across 500+ episodes a year. That full-stack fluency — edit, design, animate, deliver, all inside one ecosystem — is what lets me carry a project from raw footage and a brief to broadcast-ready delivery without handoffs, at speed, on brand.
