testimonials
The training Natalie created is outstanding. She did a great job simplifying concepts for the learners with a methodical step-by-step approach which incorporates reading, images, video, and interactive content.
​
We continue to get very positive feedback on the computer-based training Natalie created. It was a pleasure working with Natalie to evaluate the content and work through various drafts; she is very detail oriented and patient.

I had the pleasure of working with Natalie as both a client and alongside her as an Instructional Systems Designer with HPSI.
​
When implementing a new customer service training program, we were very fortunate to have Natalie as our contracted ISD person. She was clearly awesome – very effective storyboarding, used different media and state-of-the-art graphics that were all “gold standard.” The training received an average of 4.8 on a scale of 1-5 from learners.

Natalie has been an outstanding member of my instructional design team for 12 years. Her creative work, both in instructional design and graphic design, always exceed our customers' expectations; her products receive rave reviews!
Natalie stays on the leading edge of trends in learning technology. She works well with subject matter experts and quickly learns both technical and non-technical content. I highly recommend her!
Working with Natalie as my coach for the past year has been incredible. Natalie holds deep knowledge in both instructional design and business acumen which, along with her vast experience, shapes her coaching style.
Over the past year, she has reviewed my designs, talked through my analyses, advised on working in a corporate environment, and more. Nothing is too big or too small -- we have dug into the nitty gritty graphics of eLearning screens, and we have discussed professional development opportunities to prepare for the future of the field. Natalie's friendly, easygoing disposition along with her commitment makes her an effective coach.

Natalie made our Virtual Instructor-led Training i.e., our online trade compliance seminars, look far more professional and engaging than we ever could have achieved in-house. Natalie delivered at a reasonable cost and on deadline. Our corporate clients were pleased with the results!
