Chunking Content

Twenty years of experience is a lot to scroll thru, so I split it into six focused modules — About, Skills, Experience, Wins, Education, and Rationale. It's the same approach I use when I'm building out a course — breaking a big topic into modules, then building the navigation and state logic that lets a learner move between them seamlessly.

Visible Progress & Completion State

The progress bar isn't just visual polish — I use progress bars and completion states in course builds to help learners manage their time and pace themselves through the content.

Visual Color Cues

I used color-coded wayfinding, so each module keeps its own color throughout — in the icon, the badge, and the accents — so you always know which section you're in. I use this kind of visual consistency in branching scenarios and multi-topic courses.

Show, Don't Tell

Instead of just writing "experienced in instructional design," Module 02 shows skill bars and actual years. I'd rather provide visualized data than a vague claim.

Accordion Buttons

My Experience section spans five employers and over 20 years — too long to show all at once without overwhelming the page. Card 01 mentions chunking the whole resume into bite-size pieces (modules); this is the same idea applied one level deeper. Each role is collapsed by default, a chevron that rotates open and closes on click, and an Expand All that opens all roles when selected. It's the same progressive-disclosure approach I build into training when a topic has more depth than most learners need up front — show the headline, let people choose how far to dig in.

Choosing Your Own Path

This page is designed so you can click around in whatever order you want, rather than forcing you to read from top to bottom. I typically give learners control and do the same thing in my training modules unless they must review all content, as they do in Compliance and Regulatory training.

Honest Collaboration

I credited Claude AI in the hero section because AI-assisted work is becoming the norm, and I want to be transparent about my process. I use AI as a starting point and always verify the output for accuracy — because we all know AI sometimes hallucinates!

For me, AI instructional design tools are fun. I love crafting prompts that accelerate analysis, generate objectives, build course outlines and content, and assist in rapid development. I also write and edit the HTML, CSS, and JS directly when needed — AI gets me a fast first draft, but the build work is mine. Of course, I wouldn't include an AI credit line in a real course unless directed to do so.
