Jason FordVisual and Instructional Design

I'm a one-stop shop in training and curriculum from design to development, with a bonus of graphic design for that extra bit of visual awesomeness.

Who I Am

About Me

Me in a Nutshell

I am an experienced curriculum and instructional media developer with a professional graphic/visual communication and instructional design background.

I can design and develop outcome-driven courses and training from the ground up using course maps, lesson templates, interactive media, scripts and storyboards, custom graphics or illustrations, and custom HTML and CSS in any LMS.

And because I’m a graphic designer, I guarantee it will look pretty darn good.
