Eric DeRise University Productions (EDU)
"With over 12 years of hands-on experience in learning development and curriculum architecture, my core strength is instructional design execution: taking pre-existing, fragmented content from disparate departments, filling in the instructional gaps, and rapidly unifying the messaging into cohesive, brand-aligned deliverables. Supported by a Master’s degree in Instructional Design and complete doctoral coursework in Instructional Design and Technology, I bring both deep theoretical rigor and highly practical multimedia execution skills to every project."
Targeted Alignment for Priority Launches (Manager Onboarding & Leadership Development)
"My instructional design methodology is highly optimized for rapid content refinement. Whether overhauling legacy training materials or parsing cross-departmental information, I specialize in the exact ID execution required for high-stakes enterprise launches. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I excel at auditing existing materials, identifying pedagogical gaps, and transforming rough subject-matter-expert notes into polished, highly aesthetic management training modules, slide decks, and comprehensive toolkits."
Technical Proficiency: Canva, Adobe & Asset Centralization
"In every instructional design role I have held, Canva and the Adobe Creative Suite have been my primary engines for executing and standardizing training collateral. I routinely leverage both platforms' advanced design capabilities to bring diverse materials up to strict corporate brand standards quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, I operate with a strict adherence to keeping materials centralized and accessible. Having recently developed a custom digital management dashboard (Studio Nexus ED) specifically designed to consolidate media workflows and digital assets into one secure location, I bring rigorous organizational standards to every project, ensuring all refined onboarding and leadership materials are logically stored, version-controlled, and easily accessible."
Diverse Industry Experience & Execution History
"Throughout my career, I have successfully parsed and synthesized complex content across highly regulated sectors, dividing my 12 years of applied experience between formal corporate ID and higher education curriculum architecture:
Booz Allen Hamilton (Government Consulting): Conducted rigorous evaluations of existing training materials, breaking down complex information to engineer and unify comprehensive "Train-the-Trainer" curriculum and evaluation reports.
CVS Health (Enterprise-Wide Corporate Training): Parsed complex, enterprise-wide technological concepts regarding AI and emerging technologies, standardizing them into accessible, digestible learning modules deployed across the general employee training platform.
Children's Hospital of Colorado (Healthcare & Compliance Training): Refined highly engaging interactive learning modules and video content for a critical Workplace Violence Reduction Program, standardizing scenario-based skills for frontline hospital employees.
Verizon (Retail & Product Enablement): Authored and unified instructional materials and product guides designed for regional corporate managers and trainers, ensuring consistent messaging across diverse phone carrier plans.
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Tampa Bay (Multimedia Production): Managed the unified web and media presence, relying heavily on Canva and AI generation to bring fragmented messaging into a cohesive brand standard across marketing brochures, animated graphics, and internal training materials.
National University (Higher Education): Evaluated and refined specialized academic training materials to elevate the pedagogical skills of students learning to become better teachers, alongside producing unified promotional collateral.
Various Academic Institutions (Higher Education Curriculum Architecture): Spending six years as a university professor and curriculum architect, I unified disparate communications topics into cohesive syllabi and multimedia learning modules covering Public Relations Writing, Media Aesthetics, TV and Video Production, and Digital Drawing. Designing these courses guarantees that my corporate instructional materials are highly aesthetic, communication-driven, and produced to a professional multimedia standard.
The Bottom Line
"I do not just theorize about learning—I own the ID execution work. By applying rigorous instructional design best practices and advanced Canva proficiency, I ensure that scattered organizational knowledge is rapidly transformed into unified, world-class deliverables ready for immediate deployment." #DRDERISE
