About Ty Carriere

Hi, my name is Ty. I\'m an Instructional Designer, Technical Trainer, Digital Artist, and former professor who has been teaching and training people for over twenty years. I\'ve devoted my life to training people and love what I do. I’m currently an Instructional Designer and Technical Trainer working closely with SMEs such as TDs, Engineers, Artists, ITs, and Previs, Story, Art, and Production departments at Netflix supporting Streaming and Feature Animation. I also work closely with our events and outreach departments as well as personal development training. In the past, I\'ve directed 2 college programs successfully for over ten years. I\'ve taught at 4 colleges and worked on projects with NASA, SEGA, and Intel. I’ve also trained movie FX artists on using the Unreal Engine for production companies such as the FX company Framestore in London. I\'m an artist with a passion for always learning more and sharing that information in an easily digestible way. I\'m also a practicing (and formally teaching before the pandemic) Martial artist holding a second-degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate, so health, focus, and quality of life are important to me. I hold a BA in Digital Visual Media and a Masters in Instructional Design and Technology with a focus on Distance Learning. I also have years of experience with developing on-ground, hybrid, and online curricula as well as teaching and maintaining them. I’ve used several LMSs including Canvas, Docebo, and Blackboard to deliver, track, and assess training utilizing tools such as Google Suite, office 360, Articulate Storyline, Rise, Camtasia, and After Effects, creating courses, and learning plans. self-paced and instructor-led content. I’ve taught more than 30 courses and programs from high school to college in addition to developing over 300 courses for corporate, artist, production, and onboarding training. I continue to challenge myself and my learners while continuing to grow and improve myself to bring the best possible experience to learners.
