Hi. I'm Marissa. I'm a designer in Austin, Texas.
My journey from graphic design to eLearning development was fueled by my deep love for learning and the desire to create meaningful educational experiences. With a keen eye for design and a knack for instructional strategies, I craft engaging online courses that inspire and empower learners. From interactive modules to captivating multimedia content, I bring together my creativity and expertise to transform educational content into immersive learning journeys.

Animation | Graphics | Learning
2018
This was a social media campaign to promote the types of education provided by Champions School. Primarily type-based animations were used to illustrate factoids about the company. Static graphics were also used in socia media campaigns.
The animations were created using After Effects and exported into square video formats for use across social media platforms. Animated gifs were also created from the animations.
I'm a big fan of Lottie animations. They are light-weight JSON files that are embeddable in pretty much any instance you can think of. They are vector so completely scalable and you can even add interactivity.
In eLearning, this animations are great to help breakdown difficult concepts and in web design and developement, they can also be used to add interactive effects to aid the user to reach their designated outcomes.
Because the rules rely on connecting word recognition and sounds, I felt it was necessary that learners be presented with the information both visually and audibly. Emphasis was placed on certain sounds and words rather than using audio for the entirety to encourage the learner to read the material rather than just listening and to add variety. As the rules are very content heavy material, I did not want to present it all at once. Instead, I chose to present the material in a series of microlessons by dividing the content into separate sections. These are concepts that could be difficult for the learner to grasp so to encourage the learner to engage with the material, I chose to add the gamification elements. Whenever possible, I like to allow the learners as much autonomy over their learning as possible so I chose to provide the opportunity for the learner to "choose their own path" with the goal being to "collect all the stars".
