Who am I?

I have been an Instructional or, as I like to call myself, a Learning Experience Designer for around 14 years now. During this time, I have crafted instructional and non-instructional solutions for various companies, strategically calculating ROI to secure competitive tenders, and devising incentive programs to motivate adult learners in corporate settings. My work has involved close collaboration with SMEs across diverse fields such as retail, aviation, IVF technologies, and more to design custom-made learning experiences. I have conducted various levels of needs analysis to set and achieve measurable goals, created original learning print resources, and self-paced online onboarding programs for the recruit members of my instructional team. The list can go on and on.

​

My journey in Instructional Design started back in Ukraine, where I am from, but I was forced and inspired to begin from scratch when my family moved to the US. It was before the beginning of the war. I accepted the challenge and tried to make the most of it. I went back to college in 2021 for an MA in Instructional Technology and, most importantly, to prove that I can transfer my earlier experience from overseas just as I did with my luggage.

For nearly three years, I worked in higher education while earning my MA in Instructional Technology. As a graduate assistant at Stockton, I wore many hats - designing digital learning experiences, coaching future teachers, and delivering synchronous Zoom session. I used Psychology to analyze learners’ needs and design experiences that tap into their emotions and build on their potential with consideration of human cognition and physiology. And I approached every project like a puzzle: with curiosity, care, and an eye for elegant solutions that help learners achieve their personal best. 

​

Now at EDSI, I’ve taken that mindset into the workforce development space - designing eLearning that’s modern, accessible, and strategic. I create interactive modules in Articulate Storyline, self-paced microlearning in 7Taps, and facilitator -led synchronous sessions. I work closely with SMEs, performance consultants, and our internal team to build learning that empowers and equips. Whether it’s compliance, onboarding, or upskilling, each project is an opportunity to bring clarity, engagement, and purpose to the learner’s journey.
