Human-centered Learning Experience Design That helps people perform.
👋 I'm Mike Jones. I’m a learning experience designer, former Creative Director at Artisan Learning, and LXD with Lyft and Twitter. I’ve partnered with tech companies, non-profits, public sector teams, K–12 and higher education, and even local retail organizations to solve meaningful learning and performance challenges.

Learning Experience Design
Designing the bigger picture—from strategy to structure. I define what the learning experience should be—how people engage, how success is measured, and how it ties back to performance.

Learning Solution Development
Building solutions that actually support the way people work. Whether it’s eLearning, blended learning, or performance support tools, I create learning resources that are practical, accessible, and built for real-world use—not just consumption.

Multimedia Production
Instructor-led Materials

I’ve partnered with tech companies, non-profits, public sector teams, K–12 and higher education, and even local retail organizations to solve meaningful learning and performance challenges.
I believe learning shouldn't be about checking boxes or chasing buzzwords. It should help people do their jobs better and feel more connected to the work that matters.
I design learning experiences that help organizations move beyond training-as-content toward meaningful, performance-focused learning experiences. My work blends strategy, creativity, and a human-centered approach that keeps people—real people—at the center of every decision.
