About Me

I’m Shawn Porter. I draw upon my extensive skills in technology to design meaningful learning experiences. Whether it's 2D or 3D, scenario-based learning or immersive skill-building experiences, I strive to design learning that makes an impact.

Background

I have a background in technology education, from which I have learned many skills that I call upon in my work. I use problem-solving skills to tackle challenges every day. I like to think outside the box. When a straightforward answer isn’t available, I’ll come up with a creative solution.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in interdisciplinary studies and over eight years of education experience, I have a strong desire to help others learn. I use research-proven learning models and theory to help all of my learners to think critically, and to learn, retain, and apply the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in the workplace.

My experience in technology education has given me a unique set of abilities that I leverage to create memorable learning experiences. I use 3D modeling and animation to design immersive scenes for scenario-based learning. I am also very comfortable with creating and editing both vector and raster graphics. I also call on my experience with game design to create engaging game-based eLearning.

I'd love to use my skills to help you create amazing learning experiences that will make a positive impact in your organization

Personal Life

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wonderful wife and amazing children, adventuring outdoors, and serving in my local church. I also love making and designing things. In my free time, I enjoy painting, 3D printing, animating, and programming video games.
