About me
Darling, lets talk about me.
I’m Annie, a Utah native & Learning Experience Designer fueled by strategic curiosity and its power to transform lives.
When I’m not designing, researching, or teaching, you’ll likely find me arranging flowers, cycling, running, traveling, or knee-deep in yet another curiosity project. Too many things, my love, just too many things.

My Work Process
01 - Analyze
The analytical phase serves as the intellectual bedrock of my design process. Here, I engage in a rigorous examination of learner profiles, performance gaps, institutional goals, and environmental constraints. Through stakeholder consultation, data review, and contextual analysis, I identify the pedagogical and organisational imperatives that will inform my strategy.
02 - Design
With a clearly defined problem, I transition into a theoretically grounded design process. Drawing upon principles from instructional psychology, UX, and cognitive science, I construct a detailed framework for the learning experience. This includes the articulation of measurable learning objectives, the sequencing of content, and the selection of appropriate instructional methodologies, all with a careful eye toward learner engagement.
03 - Develop
The development phase is where conceptual frameworks are realised through artefact creation. Leveraging multimedia tools, authoring platforms, and inclusive design practices, I produce interactive, aesthetically stunning, and pedagogically sound learning materials. Here, scholarly rigor meets creative execution, ensuring that content not only informs but inspires.
04 - Implement
Implementation involves the orchestration of all operational components necessary for successful deployment. Whether integrating with an LMS, preparing facilitators, or supporting learner onboarding, I ensure that the delivery infrastructure aligns with both technological affordances and pedagogical intent. Smooth execution is essential to learner uptake and overall efficacy.
04 - Evaluate
In the final phase, I conduct systematic evaluation using both formative and summative measures. Through learner feedback, analytics, and performance assessments, I analyze impact against predefined outcomes. Evaluation is not a terminus, but rather a cycle of reflective refinement, ensuring the learning solution evolves with emerging needs and empirical insights.
Get to know me!
As we spend the better part of our lives in meetings, muddling through inboxes, or geeking out about AI, it’s only right that we do so alongside those who spark a good thought and the occasional chuckle. So, my dearest, before we become Zoom regulars or share a digital desk, do take a moment to get acquainted, won’t you? 🌷
Im passionate about...
Gardening, botany, field recording, zoology, art history, poetry, beautifying, crafting research projects, teaching, and learning are my true passions. Whether I’m investigating mycelium or cultivating various breeds of peonies, I’m constantly asking questions and seeking answers. Let’s just say, I’m always delightfully existing in a state of curiosity.










My People
Family is my everything. My foundational belief is that the purpose of this life is to serve and love all people. “Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness, both our own and that of our children, than how well we love and support one another within the family.” — M. Russell Ballard
