Since 2010, I have been working in corporate training. Starting with editing online courses built in Lectora, Storyline and some Captivate. Then creating illustrations, developing courses, and managing Sumtotal LMS.
Passionate for web-based development using Storyline 360 or ADAPT by Learning Pool, vector illustration from icons to full renderings. On occasion designing, WordPress or Squarespace websites, and logos. Even designing a wrap for Rockford Ambulance.
Do you want someone with a wide variety of skills while working in a training environment? Someone with a passion for volunteering and helping people? You’ve come to the right place.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Nick is one of the most dedicated and customer-focused people I’ve ever had the chance to work with. He approaches every project with a true design-thinking mindset that contributes to both efficiency and aesthetics. Nick has a deep knowledge of Learning Management Systems, Learning Experience Platforms and Survey Management tools and is always ready to provide insights and support into how these systems operate so that our team can be informed and leverage them to the fullest.

Nick played an important role in our department helping support our courseware testing efforts in LMS and our mobile solution. He is very detail oriented, understands SCORM very well and delivered the results we expected. I highly recommend Nick for his capabilities in this area.
Mike McIntosh
Software Testing Team Lead at Amway
I asked Nick if he would design, develop, and implement a non-profit web site that is flexible and easy to maintain as well as inviting and attractive with a great user experience. He did a quick initial draft and then we partnered on design and content changes. Because of his implementation, it was quick to do so. He has also chosen to administer the site, making content and creative changes. He is very easy to work with and receives positive and constructive feedback equally well. He has also displayed a strong work ethic and a commitment to get things done that he has said he would.
