Instructional Designer

Welcome!

My name is Tom.


I create educational materials with the user experience and the diversity of the audience in mind so that all learners will feel included and engaged.

My background in animation and design, combined with my experience as an educator and technical writer, allows me to develop well-researched, relatable, and interactive learning experiences.

What People Are Saying

Leslie Llado

Splash International - Director

Tom is inquisitive, thorough, and dedicated. Over a 3-month period, he worked virtually with our geographically distributed team to understand the installation process for our product and how it differed across geographies and contexts. He then translated this information into a clear, compelling instructional manual that could be used by multilingual, multinational end users. Tom’s instructional design skills would be an asset to any organization or project.

Alicia Gaynor

Bowlake School - Principal

In both the in-person and virtual classroom, Tom thoughtfully prepared lessons that were inclusive and responsive to student needs. Tom took the time to get to know the students in his classroom, make adjustments to incorporate their interests and adjust to meet their needs.

During our virtual shift, Tom was the most senior of his team and stepped up to guide his fellow team members. He supported the team by creating daily virtual math lessons used by the entire team. In his own classroom, he used TinkerCAD 3D work, art projects, and invited guest speakers.

Sarah Sterling

Bowlake School - Teacher

Tom was a great team member who brought creative and innovative ideas to the team. He regularly would take on extra tasks or projects for the greater good of the team and Tom would put his all into the work that he did.

One of Tom’s strengths is his knowledge and creativity with technology. During virtual learning he was able to adapt existing curriculum to make it more approachable and effective for students. Any company would benefit from having Tom as a member of their team.
