As a way to save money when training their managers, I wrote the script, designed the program, and delivered a series of programs which avoided the necessity of flying managers in from out of state and providing lodging and food. The three initial programs that we did together ended up becoming over 10 programs. I delivered these on time and met the budget requirements.

Initially this program was designed as my own program meant to be a way to inform local citizens about events in the area. There was no budget for this program, but it was a lot of fun and incorporated a bunch of extra features such as an interactive map for sightseeing and also a way to advertise local businesses.

Wanting to flex my Articulate Storyline skills, I created the Wheel of Fun which is similar to the Wheel of Fortune, but I didn’t want to take the name as if it were sanctioned. This game allows you to spin the wheel just like the game show, pick letters, buy vowels, and solve the puzzle early! It had no budget and is designed for just one player, but it is fine and makes use of the randomizing function and animations.

Tapped by the Los Angeles Superior Court to create a course for their staff to have a better understanding of the terminology they must use when serving customers, I wrote the script, designed the program and delivered this Articulate Storyline program on time and under budget working from a legal dictionary as my only SME. This was a fun program that has made me very aware of how court cases on television are often depictured incorrectly.

A truly challenging project was to assist VMware in creating a visual translation of the move to SaaS away from their annual licensing model. The idea was to show how the customer was at the center of all that VMware does, and so I started with the idea of putting the customer in the middle of two phases or work. The first is the sales phase and the second was post-implementation where value is realized. If both are done well, the customer renews “to infinity” as the shape of the diagram suggests. This example is missing the links because they led to video interviews with team managers, but this was a great Articulate Storyline project which could have changed me from a contractor to an employee if it weren’t for the Broadcom acquisition.

A government contractor, RD Niehaus, Inc., hired me to assist them in creating over 13 hours of content relating to Army Housing. While it was a boring topic, my challenge was to make it interesting. I created games that were based on Army boot camp obstacles for all of the knowledge checks. This really won the brass over because they enjoyed watching the soldier fall off the obstacle if they got the answer wrong. This was created in Articulate Storyline 2. The entire project was accomplished by three staff: one functioned as the SME and project manager and the other was the script writer and myself.
