@alandemsky
I design human-centered learning systems and immersive experiences that strengthen capability, connection, and behavior change.
What I'm looking for
At Woven by Toyota, I design human-centered capability systems for AI- and robotics-driven environments, building enterprise learning ecosystems that serve 2,200+ employees. I partner with executives to define capability benchmarks, close critical skill gaps, and improve cross-functional alignment.
Across ALC Education, 10-9 Communications, and global clients including Oracle, Salesforce, Suntory, Panasonic, Coca-Cola, and Mitsui Fudosan, I've used curriculum architecture, journey mapping, communication design, and facilitation to improve clarity, collaboration, and performance. I also coach leaders in presentations, negotiation, facilitation, and leadership communication.
Outside organizational learning, I create immersive audiovisual and cultural experiences through Demsky and co-founded SentoSensations in Tokyo. I'm expanding into UX/UI and brand experience design, applying user psychology, engagement strategy, spatial flow, and visual identity to create intuitive human-centered experiences.
