Blake White
@blakewhite
Instructional designer improving learner performance and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an Instructional Design & Learning Design professional with over 10 years developing eLearning, instructor-led, and blended training for corporate environments. I specialize in applying ADDIE and Agile learning development models, adult learning theory, and instructional technology to create engaging, accessible learning experiences.
I partner closely with subject matter experts and business leaders to analyze needs, design effective learning objectives and assessments, and maintain compliance-focused content. At Verizon I designed and maintained eLearning, simulations, and ILT modules while tracking content changes and learner engagement to improve speed-to-proficiency.
Earlier, I delivered onboarding and role-based training at Ibex Global, reducing time-to-readiness through targeted job aids and facilitation of classroom and remote sessions. I prioritize measurable performance improvement, collaboration, and continuous content maintenance to meet business goals and regulatory requirements.
