Learning Experience Designer 

Bryn Hotes

MS Instructional Design & Technology
BA Advertising & Public Relations

Thanks for visiting! My name is Bryn, and I am a Learning Experience Designer. I believe people learn best when they can actively explore, solve real problems, and build confidence through hands-on practice.

 

My approach focuses on creating context-aligned, constructivist learning experiences that guide learners through the learning process iteratively. As a teammate, I enjoy being a source of empathy, strategy, delivery, and positivity!

 

I often work in an iterative and stakeholder-involved style to ensure every learning experience is warm, accessible, intentional, and grounded in what people genuinely need to grow.

Your Just-In-Time Portfolio Guide

HD is an AI assistant I designed to help you navigate my portfolio, built using Claude Sonnet 4.6. 

​If you have questions about my projects, experience, or anything else, HD is here to help.

​

Still, this is just a simple guide.

I am always excited to connect person-to-person!
