A teacher at heart, Alex draws on having founded schools and started education companies, on having climbed the ladder himself as a leader and teaching professor in multiple disciplines, and on his work designing and facilitating award-winning learning experiences.
POV: “Transformation can be engineered.”

She’s captivated by story, and the way authors, journalists, game designers, and screenwriters use writing to make experiences come to life in exciting and immersive ways.
She’s a champion for the learner in any situation and is always keen to figure out how to use technology for deeper, more memorable learning. These days, she spends half her time designing and writing learning solutions – and the rest coaching and mentoring up-and-coming designers and teachers looking to level up their digital experience.
Kristi’s educational background includes a combination of science, education, technology and creative writing – “the perfect storm” for Learning Experience Design.
