Digital learning, shaped around your people

I design clear, engaging digital learning that helps people understand, remember and apply what they’ve learned.


What I do

E-learning Development

Interactive digital learning built in Storyline and Rise, designed to be clear, engaging and easy to use.

Learning Design

I turn complex content into clear, purposeful learning experiences built around what people need to know and do.

Training & Performance

I design practical training that supports performance, builds confidence and helps people apply learning on the job.

A little about me....

I’m Tree, a learning designer and trainer who enjoys turning complicated information into learning that actually makes sense. My approach is practical and people-focused: understand what learners need to do, strip away the noise, and shape the right solution around them.I work across digital learning, PowerPoint and classroom resources, always with the same goal: learning that works in the real world.I’m naturally curious, slightly obsessed with making things work better, and probably far too pleased when a complicated process finally clicks into place. That’s really what Root.Learn.Shape is about: creating learning that works for real people in the real world.

Rooted in learning. Always shaping what comes next.

Projects & Possibilities

Storyline 360 Interactive Demo

This interactive course demonstrates the U.S.A. de-escalation technique through realistic customer scenarios.Learners compare different responses, make decisions and discover how empathy, ownership and clear solutions can prevent a difficult conversation from escalating.

It uses a soft, modern illustration style with warm neutral backgrounds and a muted palette of teal, green, magenta and sage. Stylised character artwork, abstract shapes and small pixel details add personality while keeping the design professional. Large rounded panels, bold colour-coded options and clean Lato text create a clear visual hierarchy. Generous spacing and simple navigation keep the learner’s attention focused on each scenario and decision.

This short demo showcases an interactive phonetic alphabet game created in Articulate Storyline. Learners drag and drop images onto the corresponding letters while working against the clock. Immediate feedback, a scoring system and a “beat your score” challenge create an engaging way to reinforce knowledge through practice.

Interactive Process Development

I turn processes into interactive, gamified experiences that learners can explore step by step. By combining clear visuals, purposeful interactions, challenges, scoring and meaningful feedback, I make procedures easier to understand, practice and confidently apply on the job.I also create realistic mock accounts and system simulations, giving learners a safe environment to practise processes without accessing live systems or customer information. This allows them to explore, make mistakes and build confidence before applying their skills in real situations.



Digital Icon Design and Application

Concept icons

I create simple, consistent icon systems to support navigation, reinforce key concepts and make digital learning easier to scan. Each icon is designed to remain clear at small sizes, with variations developed to keep the visual language consistent across screens, interactions and feedback.I aim to make icons feel distinctive to the business while keeping them familiar and easy to recognise. The goal is a visual style that feels bespoke without sacrificing clarity.Each icon has a matching character who brings its purpose to life. They can be used alongside the icons in PowerPoint presentations and Reach 360 courses to add personality, highlight key information and help learners recognise different topics at a glance. Each character provides a consistent visual cue throughout the learning.Use the icons for simple navigation or quick-reference points, then introduce the characters when you want to explain, demonstrate or draw attention to something important.

Design variations


Blended Learning Design

I design blended learning journeys that combine self-managed digital learning in Rise and Storyline with complementary classroom resources. Learners build their knowledge independently through interactive content, then reinforce, practise and apply what they’ve learned through facilitated activities, discussion and practical exercises. The result is a connected learning experience where each element has a clear purpose and classroom time is used to deepen understanding rather than repeat content.

Explore how the PowerPoint workshop, interactive Rise course and learner workbook work together to create a cohesive blended-learning experience. Each resource uses realistic workplace scenarios and practical activities to help learners give clear, constructive feedback using the Situation - Behaviour - Impact - Next steps model.

PowerPoint Learning and Presentation Design

Video

I create polished, practical PowerPoint learning materials, complete with trainer notes and a separate trainer guide, for businesses that need professional training without the cost of a full e-learning build.From interactive presentations and facilitator decks to learner resources and visual aids, I design slides that are easy to use, visually consistent, built around the learning goal and to client design specifications.


Video & Animation

Some ideas are easier to understand when you can see them in action.I create clear, engaging videos that bring learning to life. I can help shape the idea, plan the story and create the finished video, keeping the content focused on what people need to understand and remember.My approach is practical and human: make the message clear, give it some personality, and help people connect it to real life.Take a look at a couple of my videos and view others on my YouTube channel.

Expert Help - Knowing the way doesn’t mean everyone can follow. A little reminder that expert guidance needs to include the steps a beginner might be missing.

Theoretical Buoyancy - Passing a quiz doesn’t mean you’re ready for the deep end. A light-hearted look at why learning needs practical application—and why safe practice matters.


Meet Vera.....

Vera is a little blue sprout who I created to pop a little joy and a smidgen of me into some of my projects.She was named by a particularly inspiring and thoughtful coach I have the pleasure of working with, Suzanne (not Susan....never Susan).Building games around her has let me show how learning can be engaging as well as useful—and given me a fun way to keep developing my own design skills.Scroll down for some of Vera's adventures so far........
