Storyline Course Shell

  • WellSaidLabs was used for Voiceovers, additionally, Lovo was also used for testing purposes on one slide
  • (WellSaidLabs doesn't allow downloading on free accounts, so this is simply my computer recording the voice, please overlook the un-crisp final VO product.)
  • Vyond was used for imagery and for the video embedded in the first lesson.
  • Sample AI talking head was used to welcome new learners as per request of an Agent Persona sample

Video Training Series

In this series, I used Vyond to design and create a 3-part training program on communication for call center employees. I was tasked with using Vyond and the lowest level MurfAI voiceover tool to design and create training videos. I would be happy to share the samples with you upon request.

AWARD Winning Magazine Editor

In 2019, I began a magazine creation and design journey using InDesign. A community magazine was being produced and the InDesign Editor was moving and wanted to pass the torch to a new team. The articles are written by local community members and many of the images are also submitted from the community. We have a copy editor that proofs everything and 2 ad salespeople who obtain advertisers and work to collect their art. I take all of the gathered content and design a magazine every month. It takes a village, but the results are a fantastic keepsake for memories and allow for public notices specifically for this one community. Thanks to a team effort, our community has web access to the archives from the past 20 years. If you would like to see more examples, here is a link to a folder with the magazines I developed and published. Every month, this magazine is packaged, published, and delivered to thousands of homes in the community and beyond.
