Your Partner in eLearning: Crafting Custom Solutions that Improve Performance
Hi, I’m Ayla Blacklaw.
I specialize in designing practical, interactive eLearning solutions tailored to your organization. Whether you need training for your team or you want to sell courses, I create meaningful learning experiences that help people develop useful skills.
Say goodbye to boring, “Click Next” modules. My philosophy is that training needs to actively involve the learner. I do this by incorporating activities that mirror real-world decision making. Let’s collaborate to design solutions that truly make a difference.
Why eLearning?
Save Time
eLearning typically takes 40%-60% less time to complete than in-person training (Forbes).
Boost Retention
eLearning boosts retention rates by 25%-60%. Traditional training boosts retention by 8%-10% (Forbes).
Increase Customer Satisfaction
Companies that use learning technology experience a 16% increase in customer satisfaction (IBM).
Happy Clients
Visually engaging and user friendly
“I’ve had the privilege of partnering with Ayla Blacklaw on two major e-learning projects and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Ayla begins by learning our goals and needs and laying out a clear, realistic work plan—milestones, responsibilities, and review points—so everyone knows exactly where the project is headed. She then delivers on that plan with confidence and on time.
Our content can be complex and emotionally sensitive, yet Ayla transforms it into interactive learning experiences that are visually engaging and user friendly. We already loved Ayla’s work but when one of our most challenging stakeholders described her work as “so, so good”, we all knew we had hired the right person.
The result: happy funders, project managers, and end-users alike. If you need an instructional designer who combines creativity with disciplined project management and is simply a pleasure to work with, hire Ayla. I recommend her without reservation.”

Smart and experienced with practical insight
“I had the pleasure of working with Ayla on building out a strategy for e-learning courses at SMA America. She was incredibly quick to offer solutions during the analysis phase and made the entire process so much smoother. Ayla’s expertise in learning and development really stands out! She’s smart, experienced, and brings a lot of practical insight to the table. On top of that, she’s a great communicator and genuinely kind, which made working with her even better. I’m grateful for her support and would highly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a talented instructional designer and rapid developer.”
— Johnny R, Instructional Designer
Collaborative and responsive
“Over the course of our collaboration on an elearning course, Ayla consistently demonstrated her expertise, dedication, and creativity in delivering a highly effective e-learning program. She has a deep understanding of instructional design principles & adult learning theories and was able to make the complex concepts we gave her easily digestible. Ayla was also collaborative, responsive, and just a joy to work with!”
