Welcome
A place where learning is created
Creative solutions for complex learning challenges
“My name is Gemma Morris and I’m a learning designer with a background in fashion, costume, and theatre — and a passion for creative problem solving. I design engaging, story-led learning experiences that help people not only understand but remember and apply.”
I specialise in:
Micro-learning and scenario-based learning (SBL)
Gamified compliance and onboarding training
Museum-based learning and informal education
Instructional storytelling and blended design
I design engaging learning experiences that combine creativity with strategy. My work spans microlearning, scenario-based training, gamified compliance modules, and informal museum learning. I’m especially interested in how storytelling, visuals, and interactivity can be used to make learning feel intuitive, memorable, and meaningful. Whether I’m building a digital course, creating physical learning tools, or mapping out a learner’s journey, I focus on clarity, relevance, and connection — always asking, “Does this help someone learn better?”
My Philosophy of Learning
I believe that learning is as much about understanding people as it is about delivering content. Every individual learns differently, and every subject demands a unique approach to teaching. It’s like being a detective, uncovering the methods that resonate with each learner.
I’m fascinated by active learning and storytelling, particularly scenario-based learning. Context is essential to me; if I don’t know how to apply information, I struggle to retain it. Learning by doing is, in my view, the most effective way to make knowledge stick. Similarly, peer-to-peer learning is an under utilised tool. Those who have recently learned something often make the best teachers—they empathise with the struggles of understanding and can share what worked for them.
Creativity also plays a key role in my learning philosophy. Engaging learners starts with capturing their attention, as highlighted in the first step of Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction. A creative approach can inspire curiosity and make learning truly memorable.
At its core, my philosophy is simple: learning should encourage thinking, not just remembering. By fostering curiosity, collaboration, and practical application, I aim to create learning experiences that are meaningful and transformative.
