Portrait of Alex E. Daley

Hi there! My name is Alex, and I'm a multitalented, polymathic learning designer who works remotely from Charleston, SC, USA. I am open to contract and freelance work, particularly in the following industries: automotive, fashion, and healthcare.

Let's chat to see if I'd be a good fit for your company or project!

My Story

I've been telling stories since childhood: short writings about monsters eating homework, cartoons of magical horses, and videos of real-life happenings through social media. Stories are magical in their ability to entertain, teach, and remember. My passion for storytelling and learning combined with my strong analytical, communication, and multimedia skills led me to pursue a career in learning design.

​

Since 2014, I have worked in a variety of industries (e.g., automotive, healthcare, retail, technology) as a full-time employee, contractor, or freelancer. I got my start in learning design when a healthcare technology company hired me to write documentation and design graphics for their new Education team. I was fortunate to work alongside talented, inspiring instructional designers who taught me what successful learning looks like. My passion for learning design only grew from there, and I committed to pursing this career.​

​

Currently, I'm working on my Master's in Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies through Florida State University and working as a Learning Designer (contractor) for a large retail organization. In my spare time, I read A LOT of design and psychology books to expand my knowledge and attend open-learning sessions to deepen my skillset as a learning designer. 

My Values

Data Focused

I believe that learning solutions should be based on

  1. a cognitive theory of how people learn and

  2. scientifically valid research studies.

Empathetic Solutions

I put myself in the learner's shoes so that I can empathize with their needs and understand their motivations to deliver the best learning solution possible.
