Building the Future of Interactive Education
We create content, apps, and digital products that make learning accessible, engaging, and effective. Modern technology meets timeless instructional design. You get results that matter.
I founded UsefulWriter LLC in 2012 to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and genuine human learning. My career spans writing, instructional design, interactive development, and AI applications. I believe that well-crafted content truly transforms how people learn.
After 25 years as a classical musician in Los Angeles, I moved to Virginia and shifted my focus to technology and education. I've worked as a developer, technical writer, and instructional designer, always bringing a human perspective to digital solutions. With a master's degree in Educational Technology and Media Studies, I focus on what people naturally do rather than what their tools impose on them.
Since generative AI emerged in 2022, I've worked with it daily as a writer, designer, and developer. ActiveLessons.com represents my latest innovation—a free weekly newsletter that demonstrates how modern technology and instructional design work together to enhance education for everyone.
