About

I’m Yaa Larbi, an Instructional Designer and eLearning developer with 13 years of experience creating technical, leadership, sales, and onboarding training that measurably improves learner performance. I use the ADDIE model to align training with regulatory requirements and business objectives, and I partner closely with subject matter experts and stakeholders to close performance gaps for large employee groups.

I’ve built and improved learning experiences across LMS platforms and modern authoring tools including Articulate 360 (Storyline, Rise), Camtasia, and Vyond, with a strong focus on accessibility and quality assurance. From audit-ready compliance updates to interactive software simulations and learning analytics, I’m motivated by turning complex content into clear, engaging learning that supports real-world results.
