Design with the user in mind.“
Hi, I’m Pamela and I have a passion for learning, and I love translating that into visually engaging learning experiences. But mostly I love helping people love to learn and have an enjoyable experience.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Educational Media with an emphasis on Online Learning and Professional Development from Appalachian State University and a BFA from the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design.
I have a unique approach to learning solutions, which means I have held and am open to career opportunities in Instructional Design, Learning Experience Design, and eLearning Development.
