Instructional Designer

Greetings! I’m Linda Redhead, an Instructional Designer from New York. With a rich background as an experienced educator, dynamic speaker, and skilled artist, I harness my diverse talents to craft immersive and captivating learning journeys.

Crafting Inspiring Learning Journeys...

I specialize in E-Learning with an extensive background in healthcare instructing adult learners. My academic roots trace back to the School of Visual Arts, majoring in Art & Illustration. So at my core and in my soul, I am a creative artist. Over the years, I’ve dedicated my artistic prowess to the not-for-profit sector, volunteering to create and design educational materials. This endeavor has brought me immense joy and seamlessly merged my passion for teaching and learning with creative design.

Recently, I completed the MicroMaster’s Program for Instructional Design & Technology at the University of Maryland Global Campus, marking a pivotal moment in my career journey. Eager to immerse myself in this formal career path, I embraced the opportunity to absorb knowledge, hone my skills, and build a robust portfolio. I am excited to apply my enriched skills and knowledge in a dynamic professional environment.
