Chicago eLearning & Technology Showcase 2026

I work at the intersection of instructional design, learning technology, and emerging tech.That means I spend a lot of time helping people figure out how tools like AI, AR, mixed reality, Articulate, Adobe Creative Suite, and interactive media can actually improve learning instead of just adding more noise.I have 17+ years of teaching and learning experience, with a background that includes corporate training, higher education, immersive learning, multimedia development, and consulting. I have built AR experiences, eLearning courses, video-based training, interactive prototypes, and AI-supported learning workflows for a wide range of audiences.Through Destery1Kenobi LLC, my focus is on practical learning technology: helping teams move from “that sounds cool” to “this actually helps people learn, practice, and perform.”
