Hi there!

I’m Stephanie McCready,

an eLearning Developer and ATD-Certified Instructional Designer passionate about creating learning experiences that are both effective and engaging. I believe that learning should be exciting, not a chore! Using adult learning principles and proven instructional design methods, I craft courses that resonate with learners of all styles. My expertise spans a variety of formats, from self-paced online modules and blended learning to instructor-led training (ILT).

I love collaborating with subject matter experts and stakeholders to develop innovative learning solutions that help organizations achieve their goals – whether it’s developing employees, educating customers, or driving strategic initiatives. I’m proficient in a range of software, including Articulate 360 (Storyline, Rise), Canva, Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Audition, Premiere Pro), Vyond, and Canvas LMS.

Design Philosophy

The intersection of Universal Design for Learning and Cognitive Load Theory provides a powerful framework for creating learning experiences that are both inclusive and efficient. UDL ensures that I design for the widest possible range of learners from the start, while Cognitive Load Theory helps me understand how to present information in ways that align with human cognitive architecture. Together, these frameworks enable me to create learning experiences that honor learner diversity, respect cognitive constraints, and support genuine skill development.
