Digital products, online courses and curriculum have developed a bad reputation.

But you don’t have to deliver mediocrity. Because you don’t run a mediocre business.

The online space has become a hot bed of really big claims... big money claims, big business claims, and big growth claims. You see it everywhere you go from coaches and services providers of all types.

How many times have you seen really incredible sales and marketing lead into sub-par programs and mediocre courses?

And you’re frustrated because that is absolutely not who you are. You are high integrity, and you want to serve your clients well. But you’re not sure how to separate yourself from the chaos and establish your business as one that does things differently.

you’re in the right place

Maybe you have had an idea rolling around in the back of your mind for months, but you don’t know how to start or you are scared to put yourself out there.

Maybe your group program portal has become a little bit of a hot mess as month after month you are loading in recordings, answering questions, adding new members, and trying to build some sort of structure.

Maybe you are dreading the live calls you have to run because it all just feels too heavy. You’re feeling the pressure of delivering week after week on Zoom because if you don’t show up there, no one will learn anything in your program.

Excellence doesn’t happen by accident.

Whether you have embraced it or not, you are a teacher. You are here to teach or communicate a skill to your clients - whether that’s in programs or in self-paced courses.

Teaching is a skill all it’s own, and YOU can master it.

this is where i come in

It all started with COVID. When the world ​stopped and everyone got sent home. At ​that time, I was still teaching high school ​Spanish, and without any direction or ​training, embarked on the adventure of ​teaching online.

It became very apparent very quickly ​that learning theory had to make an ​adjustment. How can people grow when ​the one leading them and teaching them ​isn’t physically in the room?

The mass default in all of education was ​zoom. Live calls. Hours of on screen time ​trying to recreate a traditional classroom. ​And not surprisingly, that didn’t work.

Because the way people learn in the ​online context has to be considered.

I knew things needed to be different. I knew that the principles of growth... ​of learning... of seeing success. Those principles had to be adjusted to the ​online space. If I wanted my students to be successful, I HAD to dig into ​what educational design meant online.

fast forward 4 years

Armed with two degrees in education, and backed by lots of experience of my own in teaching, coaching, and leading online, here we are.

I have worked with dozens of entrepreneurs to build courses, memberships, and curriculum for their programs in a way that digs into educational and learning strategy.

Adapting educational strategies for the online space has led to higher level programs and greater success for clients across the board.

educational design

isn’t sexy or flashy like the promise of earning 10k in three minutes.

but it absolutely affects the long term success of your business.

A crack in the foundation left unattended, will cause the whole house to fall. And educational design is the solution.
