Freelance Instructional Designer Helping UK Trainers
Instructional design - done by you, with you or for you
Whether you're building a training course for your team or turning your expertise into something you can sell, you need a freelance instructional designer - someone who knows how to help you build a well-designed course so that your audience will learn effectively. And you shouldn't have to figure out instructional design on your own.
I work in three ways: Done For You if you'd rather hand it off completely, or Done With You if you want guidance while you build the course yourself, or you can come to me for the eLearning Design phase of your project. Either way, you'll get learning experiences that actually work—for your learners, your goals, and your budget.

About Lisa, a freelance instructional designer for over 20 years
I’ve always been freelance and have worked with major eLearning companies, small businesses, charities and consultants.
I really LOVE teaching and was a face-to-face trainer of IT and market research before this eLearning thing came along.
I miss seeing the light go on in someone’s eyes when they suddenly understand something.
I learned the hard way before I went back to get my Diploma in eLearning with The Training Foundation and my Professional Certificate in eLearning with the University of Chester.
Dogs and dancing are my two major passions. If I'm not at my desk, I'll be on the dance floor or outside with my four legged family members.
My philosophy on most things is ‘What would you do if time and budget were unlimited?’
