subject-matter experts, and business stakeholders throughout the design process.* Facilitate design discussions and confidently present recommendations, prototypes, and design rationale to

measurable learning and performance outcomes during the design process.* Develop appropriate evaluation approaches to assess learner experience, knowledge, behavior, performance, and business impact.* Use learner feedback, performance data, stakeholder input, and other available insights to continuously improve learning experiences.* Evaluate existing learning solutions and recommend where content should be simplified, redesigned, consolidated, automated, modernized, or retired.* Apply quality-assurance practices throughout design and development rather than treating review solely as a final step.**Design Practice and Innovation*** Serve as a senior design expert and thought partner for complex or highly visible learning initiatives.* Provide guidance, coaching, feedback, and design support to less experienced designers and other learning professionals.* Establish and model strong standards for instructional design, learner experience, accessibility, AI-enabled design, and
