What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and innovation in eLearning and multimedia design.

I am a seasoned learning experience designer with 30 years of expertise in creating engaging and interactive training solutions across corporate and healthcare sectors. Since 2007, I have specialized in transforming complex technical content into accessible, bite-sized learning experiences for global organizations, including ExxonMobil and Boehringer Ingelheim. My role involves leading end-to-end projects from content strategy through multimedia production, with a recent focus on AI-powered content creation and mobile-first learning design.

As the owner of Aukalen Multimedia, I have successfully grown my small family-run business since 2011, delivering high-quality eLearning and web design solutions. My client-focused approach has resulted in nearly 100% retention across long-term partnerships, consistently meeting expectations while keeping timelines and budgets realistic. I pride myself on my ability to deliver end-to-end projects, including instructional design, voiceover, localization, video, design, and development, while maintaining a strong commitment to personal service and rapid response.
