Hi, I'm Rick Sturch

Instructional Designer & Freelancer

About me

I’m a creative and technically skilled eLearning Instructional Designer with a background in digital media and financial services. I design engaging, visually compelling learning experiences that educate and leave a lasting impression.

I integrate AI tools like ChatGPT, Storyline AI, text-to-voice, and generative media into my workflow to streamline development and enhance creativity. My career started on Toronto’s trading floors, where I honed problem-solving, communication, and technical skills that now inform every learning project.
