Designing learning that makes a lasting impact

I’m Carey Pohanka, a learning designer and strategist who helps people make sense of new ideas, tools, and systems through clear, engaging, and purposeful learning experiences.

What I Create

  • Digital Learning Design

    Interactive eLearning, videos, and blended courses that make complex information approachable and actionable.

  • Professional Learning Programs

    Workshops, webinars, and coaching sessions that help educators and professionals build skills with purpose

  • Program Leadership & Strategy

    Designing and leading learning initiatives that bring people together around shared goals and lasting results.

  • Multimedia & Storytelling

    Using video, visuals, and simple design to tell stories that teach and inspire.

How I Work
