I’m Crews Carter, a former educator-turned-instructional design maven with a knack for turning learning into an adventure. With five years of teaching leadership, complemented by a dynamic stint in corporate L&D, I've honed the skill of translating essential knowledge into practical skills. I am a devoted rock climber, musician, mix engineer, and foodie. I live in Seattle and love the combination of city living and outdoor activities that fit my lifestyle.
I enjoy instructional design because it combines so many of my skills and passions. My most powerful abilities live at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, where I’m able to combine the skills I’ve developed as a lifelong musician and audio engineer with the investigative and iterative strategies I’ve honed as a climber.
I'm on a mission to rescue eLearning from the doldrums of dullness. I envision a world where digital learning isn’t just a mundane task but an exhilarating experience that sparks a genuine thirst for knowledge. I’m proud of turning this vision into reality, like with my ‘Overcoming Objections’ training—an immersive, retro video game-style module that's both fun and fruitful.
I approach each project with a diverse set of skills, blending the creative mindset of a musician with the technical know-how of an audio engineer. My passion for climbing isn't just about reaching the top; it's about embracing the challenge and solving the problem. This same determination drives my work in eLearning design, where I'm committed to not only achieving goals but pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital learning.
Colleagues know me as the guy who doesn't just think outside the box—he reshapes it. I'm the go-to for fresh, effective ideas that not only meet but exceed our targets. Here’s what I stand for:
Learner-Centered Design: Tailoring experiences to individual needs for a perfect learning fit, and designing for how people actually learn.
Consultant Approach: Diving deep with SMEs to uncover the core of what learners truly need to provide solutions that actually deliver.
Real World Application: Shifting from mere knowledge checks to skill application for real-world impact.
Opportunity in Every Outcome: Transforming every response into a stepping stone for future success.
If you're looking for a guide to create learning experiences that are as engaging as they are enlightening, let's connect. Together, we can make eLearning not just bearable, but breathtaking.
