In several cases, clients called on me to synthesize complex engineering documents, control screens, and interview data to create a clear picture of their process for new hires. The petrochemical diagrams at the top are 3 of around two dozen layered diagrams that emphasize heat exchange and pipe contents at different points in the process.

These illustrations were primarily used in Instructor-Led Training, and were made at different levels of detail for different skill levels.

As a part of larger contracts, I created layered maps to be used as job aids, presentation supporting graphics, and onboarding material.

(Text Labels have been anonymized.)

Each time, I:

- assessed what systems and landmarks needed to be captured
- traveled to the site for photography and manual map sketching
- interviewed SMEs onsite and conducted whiteboarding sessions
- synthesized safety and engineering maps with the data I’d gathered into a clear picture of the site
- incorporated the client’s brand and accessible design principles as needed

Client Industries:
- Metal machining
- Frozen Foods
- Petrochemical
- Timber
- Glass

During the analysis and learning design stages of several projects, we wanted to give the client a banner their L&D staff could rally behind. The challenge was usually to highlight industry and worker solidarity, without either being too cold or looking too much like a union.

Many of our deliverables have been in Microsoft PowerPoint and Word, across many different brands and levels of care on the client’s part.

Most of these were animated directly in Articulate Storyline so the client could edit them in the future without an additional subscription.

A “Boxel” is a 12-sided, corrugated cardboard building block with rhombus-shaped (diamond) sides, of my own design. Each block is made of twelve mechanically cut and folded panels which can be assembled without additional hardware or glue. The underlying geometrical shape of a Boxel is called a rhombic dodecahedron.

Boxels of the same size can pack together and tile infinitely. Boxels of any size can be connected, though not if they are connected to the same differently-sized block.
