May I join you in designing a wine experience that reflects you…your story…or a story you want to tell?

Wine Stories
The current chapter of my wine story has me wandering in a vineyard. I am not lost; I am captivated. I have come to appreciate that each vine – each wine – has its own story. The vinegrower, the winemaker, even the soil and roots themselves, all blend together into stories worth telling. I hope to be a teller of those wine stories…even a teacher of them…along with guiding wine lovers through a taste of the harvests.
Wine Certifications
Two years ago, I decided to journey on a new path that led down a vineyard toward the wine industry. I pursued certification with the WSET (Wine & Spirits Education Trust) to gain further knowledge of over 100 grape varieties in over 20 wine regions around the world. I have now joined an elite group of only 50% of the globe’s WSET3 students who can say they are WSET Level 3 Certified (Passed with Merit). Prior to that, I completed WSET Level 2 with Distinction.
Design for Wine
My background and expertise in Instructional Design have provided me with new ways to tell the story of wine. I have over a decade of experience in ID which has allowed me years of opportunity to grow as a learning content creator. To expand my skills and creativity, I earned a Master’s Degree in Learning Design and Technology at the University Colorado Denver (2021).
I have come to realize that design for learning is really about storytelling.
And my love of wine has now blended with my love of story.
May I join you in designing a wine experience that reflects you…your story…or a story you want to tell?
A remembrance of something past? Celebration of something present? Anticipation of what is yet to come?
I am eager to hear your story…and help you tell it…alongside some fine wine.
