Hi there – thanks for dropping by! I’m Juli, an eLearning Developer based just east of Cleveland, Ohio. I’ve been developing digital learning solutions for over 17 years. In earlier years I worked as a graphic designer and art director at American Greetings, Sensical Inc., and KraftMaid Cabinetry implementing the design, layout, and updates to marketing collateral, trade-show advertising, and Point-of-Purchase displays for print in the retail, trade, and consumer markets. As time progressed, my interests in Education led me to become an educator and system administrator at Notre Dame Schools. There I taught Computer classes, trained, and facilitated professional development workshops, and developed asynchronous and synchronous instructor-led materials, and have experience building learning objectives, learning activities, and assessments. Today, I help businesses achieve their goals and overcome challenges with complete digital learning experiences. I feel very lucky to be in a field that combines my passions of education, design, and technology into one.
I hold a Master’s in Education from Kent State in Instructional Technology and a Bachelor’s in Studio Arts: Graphic Design, Photography and Printmaking from Ohio University. I love researching emerging technologies and tools, creating prototypes, and developing custom learning solutions. My toolbox consists of Articulate 360 suite, WordPress, Vyond, Camtasia and Creative Cloud.
