Jessica Stuart

I am a creative and reliable learning designer with a specialism in video and multimedia content creation. I have 2 years' experience delivering high quality learning experiences to adult learners. Prior to this, I coordinated the training programme for my current employer, so I have been in the L&D space for over 4 years. 

Adopting innovative technologies to enhance learning experiences is very exciting to me and I use a variety of tools in my current role, including Articulate Rise, Storyline, and the Adobe Creative Suite.
