Stephanie Dykstra
Skilled Instructional Design, Graphic Design, and Learning Experiences
“I have been in training for nearly 20 years and I learn something new about instructional design every time I review something she has created or am brainstorming a new idea with her.
Hiring Steph was one of the best talent decisions I've made in my career and she has made me a better leader because of it.”
Jen Scopo, Manager, Instructional Design
“If you're looking for someone with an unbeatable combo of instructional design and graphic design talent, Steph is your person. On our team, we called her the 'unicorn' because it's that rare to find someone who is a wiz in both fields.
Steph understands what a business needs and what learners want. When we worked together, part of our jobs involved consulting clients on effective strategies for training design and programs. She knows how to dig deep, ask the right questions, and solve the real issues at hand. She's so uniquely skilled at building learning experiences that hit home with the audience.”
Jess Arias, Lead Instructional Designer
It is rare to find someone as passionate about their work as Stephanie. I have had the privilege to work with Stephanie on two separate occasions, and each time I come away with personal goals on thinking and designing as limitlessly as she does. I have never met anyone who cares more about their work's impact or thinks as far ahead as she does - considering the long-term measurable value of everything she works on. I admire Stephanie's ability to seamlessly design, write, and create the highest quality content – I know I can count on her for an owner's mindset in everything she touches!
Emolly Palmer, Global Communications Leader
I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Steph as an instructional designer. She has an infectious enthusiasm for learning and consistently impresses me with her innovative approaches, deep understanding of learning theories and tools, and focus on the needs of the learner. Steph always takes the time to understand the business challenges and goals at hand, and goes above and beyond to develop beautiful, engaging, and effective training solutions that bridge the gap to performance. I can always turn to her for her creativity and ability to come up with novel solutions to complex learning challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Steph for any instructional design role.
