Instructor-Led Training
INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA
I designed and taught two intermediate-level CreativeLive courses that guided digital design enthusiasts through tactile mixed-media and fantasy-based compositing techniques.
Mixed Media for Digital Creatives focused on digitizing tactile materials and blending physical elements with digital effects.
Compositing for Digital Creatives explored digital fantasy scene creation through photo compositing, visual storytelling, and design principles.
Both courses integrated instructional media production, creative technology training, and visual communication, empowering learners to merge creativity and digital skill with confidence.

Notes & Rationale
-
Developed and delivered two intermediate-level live courses for CreativeLive’s international learning platform, reaching more than 16,000 learners worldwide.
The project’s goals were to translate complex digital design concepts into visually engaging, accessible, and scalable live training experiences.
Deliverables included full curriculum design, instructional media creation, live broadcast facilitation, and post-production assets for on-demand access.
-
Instructional strategy was built using the ADDIE framework, with careful alignment between learning objectives, demonstrations, and project-based practice.
Each course followed a cognitive apprenticeship model, where learners observed expert demonstrations, practiced guided exercises, and applied techniques in real time.
Learning materials were scaffolded to support progressive mastery, moving from foundational theory to advanced compositing and mixed media design.
To enhance engagement, I integrated real-world examples, visual demonstrations, and live Q&A segments that mirrored the dynamics of a studio-based classroom.
-
I designed all course visuals and instructional examples using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, ensuring high-quality, reproducible media for both live and asynchronous learners.
Comprehensive workbooks and project kits were created to accompany each course, providing step-by-step tutorials and guided creative challenges.
Each class was produced for multi-camera live broadcast, requiring real-time coordination with a production crew and adherence to timing, lighting, and visual flow standards for global streaming
Final Project
Outcomes
Both courses received strong learner engagement and high satisfaction ratings with the first course achieving a 100% recommendation rate from over 9,000 students, and the second earning an 86% recommendation rate from 7,900 students.
The success of the broadcasts demonstrated my ability to design and deliver studio-based, multimedia learning experiences that merge instructional precision with creative storytelling.
