A human way to design learning that actually lands

Learning projects rarely start in the same place. Sometimes you need clarity before anything else. Sometimes the learning exists but the behaviour hasn’t shifted.

The LXD Donut is designed for that reality. It’s the thinking behind every learning project we design.

It’s a flexible, experience-led framework that allows us to start where it makes the most sense for your team and focus on the stages that matter most right now.

For larger or more complex projects, I lead a trusted team of learning, design, and delivery specialists - bringing clear thinking, intentional design, and learning that works in context.

What it’s like to work together

From complex material to engaging, bite-sized learning that actually landed.

“ Our organisation sought a dynamic and innovative approach to learning and development, and Amanda surpassed all our expectations. Thanks to her confident, highly skilled guidance, we were able to distil a vast amount of complex material into bite-sized, engaging modules that both resonated with our audience and reflected our organisational culture.

Amanda’s expertise in learning experience design from concept through to final delivery was excellent. Her impressive project and time management skills ensured a clear focus on delivery throughout. She worked closely with us to craft an engagement model aligned with both our capabilities and budget, always remaining accessible and providing thoughtful support as needed.

Her collaborative style was consistently positive and professional, and her creativity brought an energy that made the whole process enjoyable. Our learning team genuinely enjoyed collaborating working with Amanda, and we recommend her services wholeheartedly to others.”
