Hi, I’m Manja

an ex-corporate learning designer turned experience design consultant and course creator

I’m a mom, a work-from-home veteran, and a trusted advisor who helps other big-hearted entrepreneurs make a difference and grow their businesses

My professional journey has pretty much looked like a web

And it all began with a violin. Before I ever designed learning experiences for large corporations, I designed learning experiences for my students. Teaching is in my blood, but what I teach has changed just a little bit.

 

Clients often wonder

How did I become qualified for this specific skillset?

 

Academically trained, I went from teaching violin lessons to teaching corporate employees to teaching other entrepreneurs how to think like learning designers.

Quitting the 9-to-5 to stay at home with my three kids, here I am — an entrepreneur, juggling parent, and secret fan of Instagram Reels — making a career out of creating effective learning experiences, building supportive learning environments, and teaching others how to do the same.

Along the way, I’ve become a notion fangirl, hosted and produced a podcast, and met some of the most amazing people.

I don't work for Netflix, but my passion is making learning, well, bingeable.

 

What makes me unique…

(well, aside from my love of heritage architecture and my interest in neuroscience and all things anatomy)

Results-Oriented

I make sure that we as a community create learning that delivers, that satisfies, and that transforms.

Old School and New School

I bring my old school values of integrity and reliability to new school strategies and innovations

People-Focused

I keep your goals —and your learner’s needs— front and center
 

Stay in the Know

 


I have to admit, I’m a bit of an oversharer...

 

GET IN THE KNOW

I’ve been around the block, down the street, and crossed many bridges to get where I am. 

Metaphors aside, I’m bursting with tips, how-to's, and other curated resources that will support your journey as a content creator.

I don't admit to have all the answers, but I do have training, and variety of experience to help you jump at least 10 years ahead.
