I'm Kaleesa Johnson, M.Ed. I design and build scenario-based simulations, accessible training, interactive learning tools, and brand-aligned courses, and I bring AI agents into real workflows that people actually finish.
"I build with AI agents, not just prompts: thoughtful automation behind human-centered learning."
My focus is health education, but I can build anything. Pick a type of work to explore, or browse it all.
Betty is my portfolio assistant. Type a question or tap one below, and she will answer from my background, my projects, and how I approach instructional design.
I design evidence-based learning with genuine respect for the learner.
I know firsthand how it feels to sit through training that does not meet your needs. So I designed training that met my own. I start by finding the real problem, then build backward from it. I practice backward design, and I treat evidence-based design as a form of respect for the person on the other side of the screen.
I'm a designer who diagnoses before I build. That means asking what a learner actually needs to do, what gets in the way, and what will still be true after the course is over, then shaping every screen around that.
Based in Dallas-Fort Worth. M.Ed. in education. Senior instructional designer working across e-learning, simulations, accessible workplace training, and brand-aligned learning tools.
I use ADDIE and SAM as working frameworks, not checklists. Analysis is where the real design happens: the problem is defined with evidence before a single screen is built, and the model flexes to fit the project rather than the other way around.
Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 are the starting line. Read-aloud audio, keyboard access, reduced-motion support, and plain language are built in from the first screen, not bolted on at the end.
These are real, self-contained interactive samples, built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Articulate, and authored to run on any static host. Nothing here is a template; each piece was built for a specific learner and problem.
