Testimonials
I have worked with Michelle for many years, and although there are many people who carry Learning & Development titles, very few have the skills to back it up. Michelle would be one of the best in the country. She has deep L&D experience with a natural intuitiveness that makes for excellent instructional design to her work. Her outputs are creative, user centric and knee-deep in human centred design. Above all that, she is a genuinely values-driven person who is a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly.
I have had the privilege of working with Michelle at a number of organisations on a variety of learning projects. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of her work. She is an outstanding instructional designer who truly understands the learner’s perspective. The quality of her interface design and graphic skills are the best I have seen. If I need high quality elearning she is top of my list. Thanks Michelle for the wonderful learning programmes you have delivered when we have worked together. You are the best.
I had the pleasure of working with Michelle for 18 months on a number of initiatives that required out of the box thinking to help learners achieve the right outcomes. Although the topics were often complex, Michelle always found a creative way to make the learning journey interesting and ensured we achieved the objectives we wanted to achieve. Michelle is a great asset to a team, and always has the learners interests at heart.
I worked with Michelle on a complex change for approx 1 year. Michelle is an exceptional Instructional Learning Designer. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and is a great asset to any team. She has a great ability to understand what is needed and translate that into material that is easy for end users to understand and digest.
Michelle is the most talented instructional designer I have ever worked with. She has an innate ability to understand the needs and perspectives of learners and design creative learning solutions which are fun, engaging and effective. It was an absolute privilege working with Michelle and I highly recommend her for both her skill and her vibrant, creative energy.
It has been, is currently and will in future – be an absolute pleasure to work with Michelle. Michelle is a consummate professional and handles all contracts with the same diligence, maturity, expertise and sense of humour. I trust Michelle implicitly with all my tricky pieces of work that I know need a safe pair of hands. A very clever lady and just lovely to work with to boot.
I greatly respect Michelle’s talents as an eLearning professional. Her storyboards are creative and engaging, with lots of unique (and still relevant) interaction. Her boards are learner-focused and easily digestible, and her quality focus at both the storyboard and development phases is top-notch. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Michelle and will recommend her in future. She’s a safe pair of hands if you want a job done well.
Michelle was tasked to complete some conversion work of Flash material into Storyline. One of the key criteria was that we wanted to keep as much of the original look and feel and functionality of the existing module. I was really impressed at the end result which did not compromise any of the original spark we saw in the Flash module. Michelle managed to develop an exact copy with all the animations and interactions that were originally in Flash. Impressive! Then the icing on the cake was this was done speedily and when I did the testing found only 1 minor edit to do. (I normally anticipate pages of edits!) Everything about this project was a great experience.
I worked with Michelle on the Telecom Visual Induction, a project of significant proportions that required working to very tight deadlines. Michelle kept the learner in mind always and produced high quality eLearning modules, full of interactivity and accessible content. She was considerate and supportive of the team, and always found time to consult with others if they needed it. Michelle is truly passionate about her work and it really shows in her end product.
Michelle was a pleasure to work with, bringing a creative element and positive energy to every project. Building training solutions is one of her strengths, alongside the strategic management of customer/client expectations and communication needs. I appreciated Michelle’s ability to switch her focus from the details of analysing business training needs to the output of unique ideas and solutions for those needs.
I had a need to recruit an experienced Instructional Designer to develop extensive blended learning for multiple business units. Michelle demonstrated an expert level of instructional design capability and used relevant, current methods and techniques to deliver superior learning solutions relative to the very demanding needs of the business. Michelle always volunteered fresh and innovative ideas (including feedback) to all management and team members, which helped support a consistent approach to developing all retail learning at BNZ.
Michelle worked with me on an e-learning project that included the development of the in-house team. I found Michelle to be pragmatic, efficient and she brought the project in on time and in spec. I would recommend Michelle for any project and hope to work with her again in the future.
Michelle and I worked side by side on various projects, and she is both an absolute eLearning professional and an asset to any team. She has a very clear ability to establish company goals and requirements quickly and accurately and use the information to package second-to-none learning solutions for a spectrum of clients. Her attention to detail is second to none, and her results speak for themselves.

Methods
With my extensive experience, I am knowledgeable in various methodologies such as ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) and the iterative SAM (Successive Approximation Model) approach to learning solutions. My learning material is tailored to suit each business, ranging from formal corporate and professional training to interactive games which are both informative and enjoyable.
My priority is to ensure that learning takes place. As such, all my learning solutions are based on sound and comprehensive instructional design principles.
I am flexible and can work with any methodology you have adopted. If you are new to this, I am more than willing to assist you in getting started… I love talking about this stuff.
