Experience
Instructional Designer & Project Manager, Community Banking Commercial Education
Oct 2012 — Present · Seattle, WA, US
As the sole designer on the Commercial Education Team, my role focuses on bridging the gap between ideas and execution. Working with senior leadership, support teams, and subject matter experts, I regularly assess our audience\'s needs for internal training and education, develop and maintain our overall strategy, and produce and deliver final training solutions based on project-specific goals. From the initial concept to the post-launch review, I use my expertise and design thinking to refine and focus our goals, increase the overall effectiveness, and leverage our technology and communication channels. Project of note include:Intranet RedesignOur previous internal site was very dated and little more than a giant list of links. After a careful analysis of our users and the current content, I created a new information architecture for the site to give it a natural organization and flow. Focusing on ease of navigation and usability, I created a consistent style and visual clues to develop the overall layout and structure of the site, paying particular attention to the limitations of our system and the skill set of the content managers. Finally, I worked with dozens of subject matter experts to review and update content before adding it to the site.Once built, I led the team in launching the new site through various internal communications and training. Post-launch, I remain responsible for managing the site and it\'s continued evolution. Training Manuals and Online ModulesAfter reviewing our internal style guide, I developed a standard style for training manuals and online modules to maintain a consistent look and feel within Community Banking. On a per-project basis, I have designed and produced thousands of pages of training manuals and dozens of online training modules, covering a wide range of topics.
