Introduction

Hi, I’m Neil.

I design and develop creative solutions that empower people to perform at their best. Using a blend of innovative technologies and proven methodologies, I create engaging resources that meet the training, communication, and performance needs of organizations of any size.

In addition to instructional design, I specialize in web and graphic design, video production, and other creative projects. My portfolio includes corporate and educational websites, intranet sites, branding campaigns, corporate podcasts, logo design, and more.

My Work

Hologic, Inc.

Hologic is a global medical technology company dedicated to advancing women’s health through early detection and treatment.

At Hologic, I managed a wide range of sales training initiatives, including online and distance learning programs, training video production, product documentation, AR/VR telehealth solutions, mobile applications, web tools, and both in-person and remote training sessions. My goal was to ensure that medical device sales professionals in the breast cancer and skeletal health markets gained the knowledge and skills they needed to succeed.

Philips Healthcare

Philips Lifeline pioneered personal alert services in North America and remains the leading provider, thanks to its commitment to innovation and life-enhancing products for seniors.

At Philips, I developed and implemented the company’s online learning strategy. In addition, I designed, built, and managed online learning programs and platforms, global expansion portals, intranet sites focused on learning and communication, and performance improvement tools for sales, marketing, customer service, and emergency call centers.

Masspro

Masspro aimed to enhance patient care by delivering quality solutions and reducing unnecessary care for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.

At Masspro, I oversaw the creative development and managed the learning operations of DOQ-IT University, an AMA-accredited online learning portal. Created in partnership with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, this platform offered CME-accredited courses on health information technology (HIT) implementation and care management methodologies for physicians, practices, and healthcare quality improvement organizations.

Hanover & Allmerica Financial

For over 160 years, The Hanover has offered a broad range of property and casualty products and services to individuals, families, and businesses.

At Hanover (formerly Allmerica Financial), I designed and developed a range of online and traditional learning resources, including innovative interactive tools and learning portals, and led corporate branding initiatives to support the company’s national workforce.

Jones & Bartlett Learning

Jones & Bartlett Learning is a global leader in instructional, assessment, and learning-performance management solutions for secondary, post-secondary, and professional markets.

At Jones & Bartlett, I developed learning resource websites for university-level academics, focusing on health, emergency medicine, and other sciences. I also created online resources and informational websites for organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, and the National League for Nursing.

Photography

In my spare time, I channel my creativity into semi-professional photography, where my love for wildlife and nature comes to life through the lens. There’s a unique serenity in capturing the untamed beauty of the outdoors, where the only company I need is my camera and the calming symphony of nature.
