About Kathy Borysiak

I’m a creative, tech-savvy Instructional Designer / LXD with a decade of experience creating learning content for some household names: Zillow, Nordstrom, Adobe, Microsoft, T-Mobile, the Gates Foundation, Committee for Children, the City of Seattle, Chopra Global, and Gusto.I respect all aspects of ADDIE, but I’m a builder at heart. My design style tends to lean a little more avante-garde than most IDs out there 🤣 I love creating experiences that leverage storytelling, play, and joyful engagement with the content to really make an impact on learners. Learning can be such a drag, and I’ve been fighting my whole life to make it meaningful and fun!I occasionally offer small group classes, but today, I’m focused mostly on getting the good juicy content up on YouTube for folks to access for free:https://youtube.com/c/KaborziLearningNetwork

   I dabble in a bit of all things eLearning. While I occasionally take on client-facing projects and develop end-to-end learning experiences, my latest pursuit is launching the Kaborzi Learning Network: a community of IDs and ID-hopefuls engaged in hands-on, practical eLearning skills training.
