Hi, I’m Steve
I transform complex ideas into intuitive, user-centered designs through a creative blend of strategy, storytelling, and visual thinking.
Featured Project
Corporate eLearning Course | Articulate Storyline 360 | Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Audition) | Cinema 4D | Camtasia Studio
This interactive eLearning course was built from the ground up using the ADDIE model to help Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) employees understand and apply SDL’s Quality Management System (QMS) in line with AS9100 standards. I worked closely with stakeholders to define objectives, developed a detailed storyboard and script, and maintained open communication throughout development. Built in Articulate Storyline 360 and using custom media (Adobe Creative Suite, Cinema 4D, and Camtasia). I transformed complex QA topics (document control, audits, and traceability) into clear, engaging lessons using scenario-based learning, branching logic, and interactive challenges. The result is a practical, user-friendly training that equips employees to apply the QMS with confidence and consistency.
Testimonials
“Steve Mickelson has helped us on a few instructional design projects where he expanded the content and visual appeal of an online training. Steve listened to our needed improvements and communicated follow ups to ensure the changes were on the intended course. The updates increased engagement and personalized the training to encompass the whole workforce. We had a few additional small changes over the next several months and Steve quickly, patiently responded to our extra needs. We have been very happy with the final product from Steve and look forward to working with him again on future projects.”
