About Your Instructional Designer

Make learning that matters

Learning nerds. Creatives. Kind humans.

Learning nerds. Creatives. Kind humans.

 

Learning is connection. Between people and ideas. Between information and action. Between the systems your team works inside and the humans trying to thrive in them. We started Your Instructional Designer in 2017 to design for those connections because when they're strong, people grow. When they're not, nothing else you build will stick.

We design performance-focused programs built on human connection. The kind where people show up, grow together, and bring what they learn back to the work. We go beyond content to create a real shift in how your team operates.

We love working with organizations in times of change, transition, and growth — when learning has the most power to shape what your company becomes. With a network of specialists and partners, we take on complex challenges and deliver work we're genuinely proud of. But what we're proudest of? The relationships we've built with the people we serve.

THE YOUR ID ADVANTAGE

Why teams choose us.

Experts in Social Learning

We practice, research, and study social learning. Unlike our eLearning development friends, it's not just something we dabble in. It is what we do-- all we do. Every team member, from intern to PhD-level strategist, participates in constant feedback sessions and professional development to be at the top of our game in social learning design and strategy.

People-First Philosophy

We believe that when people connect with other people and feel truly like they belong, they are more likely to be kind (the research supports it) and thus make the world a better place. Focusing on people and giving those people the best possible experience is our way of doing that. That's why we always aim to provide exceptional service.

Proven Frameworks

Eight years. 100+ organizations. Industries from aviation to fashion to health tech. We've seen what works and what fails, and we've turned those lessons into frameworks that produce results our clients can measure. This means higher-performing teams, faster onboarding, fewer incidents, better retention. You won't get a templated program from us. You'll get one shaped by everything we've learned from the hundred that came before it.
