From Instructional Design to Cybersecurity, with People at the Center

I design learning experiences that make technical skills feel accessible and human — and I build them with care, clarity, and curiosity. Whether it’s AI, cloud, or security, my goal is to empower others to grow.

Designing for Humans. Building for Impact. Exploring What’s Possible.

Hi, I’m Elsbeth — a lifelong learner, instructional designer, and emerging cybersecurity analyst based in beautiful Phoenix, Oregon.

By day, I build engaging, scalable training programs for teams at companies like Apple, Adobe, and Google — translating complex technologies into human-friendly learning. By night (or, let’s be honest, early mornings too), I’m working through Google’s Cybersecurity labs, fine-tuning AI workflows, and exploring the future of cybersecurity.

Before this, I was a special education teacher, where I mastered the art of breaking down the most complex tasks with empathy and clarity — a skill that still shapes everything I create. I’ve launched global learning academies, trained cloud sellers and creatives, and built content featured at AI conferences and in international media.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me hiking through the Southern Oregon forest with my family — especially during our annual Christmas tree hunt, a favorite tradition. Living close to nature reminds me why I care so deeply about building secure, accessible systems: because people deserve to thrive, online and off.

Based in Southern Oregon, I blend my love of learning, design, and cybersecurity into something uniquely me. Also: I pick excellent Christmas trees.

What Makes Me
Different

🧠Learning Built for the Real World

Every course, workshop, or guide I create is designed with practical outcomes in mind — not just theory. I focus on making complex skills stick through real-world application.

🖥️ Tech-Native, Always Learning

With a background in cloud platforms, AI tools, and cybersecurity frameworks, I stay at the cutting edge of technology so that my learning designs — and yours — are always future-ready.

✍️ Storytelling Meets Strategy

I turn dry technical topics into engaging narratives that resonate. Great training doesn’t just deliver information — it tells a story your team will remember.

🔐Security-First Mindset

From my work at Apple Information Security to ongoing cybersecurity certifications, I bring a security-first lens to all projects.

🎯 Tailored, Not Template

No cookie-cutter learning here. I specialize in customized enablement — designed for your team, your technology stack, and your goals.

🤝Collaboration is Key

I partner closely with SMEs, engineers, product managers, and leadership teams to create programs that align learning outcomes with business impact.
