Learning Experience Designer · Simulation Developer · Agentic Systems Consultant
Chelsea London Phillips

I build structured, visually compelling learning experiences around skills intelligence, behavioral change, and how people actually develop on the job.

Lately that means using AI to build things that used to take a whole team: branching simulations, conversational role-plays, AI coaching tools, and AI agents that help people while they work.

My background in live TV, film production, photography, and corporate training shapes how I think about pacing, visual storytelling, and designing content that holds learners' attention.

Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Instructional Systems & Learning Technologies at Florida State University, researching agentic systems and skills intelligence.

Has strong opinions about the Marissa Cooper arc and design models.

Case Study: Managing Contract Risk
Rise 360 · HTML/CSS/JS

A course for small suppliers who win enterprise contracts and then stall at the insurance section.

How I turned a dense compliance topic into practice on real documents, three of the interactions to try, and how I'd measure whether it works.

Your First AI Agent
Rise 360 · HTML/CSS/JS

Two lessons from a course that walks small business owners through building their first AI agent, rebuilt here without the client's branding.

Learners turn a vague wish into a scoped problem, write a north star they can download, place it on a value matrix, and audit their own data sources before they build anything.

Bid Evaluation Tool
Performance support · HTML/CSS/JS

A go/no-go tool contractors use on a real opportunity before they write a proposal.

Five steps, from hard stops to a scored threshold, ending in a verdict and a one-page PDF they can file or share with their team.

Your brand voice, for AI: 5,500+ learners enrolled, 15 minute video
Your Brand Voice, for AI
Video · Rise 360

A free course, live on Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, that teaches business owners to build a brand voice framework their AI tools can actually follow.

I scripted and designed the 15-minute video and built the Rise course that goes with it. More than 5,500 learners have enrolled.

Photoclass
Rise · MightyWorks · HTML/CSS/JS · Camtasia

A fully text-based photography course redesigned as a multi-module interactive experience.

Passive reading was replaced with explainer videos, guided reflections, and hands-on composition activities, giving learners structured practice at every stage rather than content to scroll through.

Ethical Leadership branching scenario with its ethics, profit and reputation meters
Ethical Leadership
Storyline · Photoshop · Descript · Synthesia

A branching scenario for managers navigating decisions that sit at the intersection of profitability, ethics, and team leadership.

Real-time decision meters and consequence gauges make the downstream impact of each choice visible, building judgment through practice rather than instruction.

Step into the scenario

My designs are an extension of who I am. I've worked and lived all over the world, come up through film and photography, and found myself in L&D because it's the natural home for someone who has always been equal parts student, teacher, and visual thinker. Always looking forward. Always referencing something from 2003.

I founded Focal Point, a photography education community that grew from a single Instagram hashtag into a global community of 10,000+ photographers.

First dev project: a Myspace page with abundant GIFs and Death Cab on autoplay.
