Hi, there! I’m Stefany Arevalo Escobar, an instructional designer and eLearning developer who enjoys turning complex training topics into interactive learning experiences.
I design and build digital learning content using tools like Articulate 360 and Storyline 360, creating eLearning modules, instructional videos, animations, and scenario-based activities that help learners practice real-world skills.
Lately, I’ve been exploring more immersive approaches to training through simulation design and emerging technologies like virtual reality. I’m especially interested in how thoughtful design, storytelling, and interaction can transform traditional training into experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and memorable.
My goal is simple: create learning experiences that people actually want to complete.
When I’m not designing learning experiences, you’ll usually find me behind a camera, out hiking, or experimenting with new creative projects.
