A bit about me.
The Picasso Effect
I'm a third-generation teacher. I loved being in the classroom, and in most of my classes, I'd draw while explaining a concept so it would actually stick, mapping out a process on the whiteboard until it looked less like a lecture and more like a diagram of how the idea worked.
My students ironically called me Picasso.
The drawings weren't good. But the concepts stuck anyway, and that was always the only part I cared about.
Why I Built Tenneri
I stepped into instructional design because I wanted training materials to do the real heavy lifting. Instead of repeating the same explanation five times a week, I wanted to build courses that could to guide a learner through the tough spots on their own.
That whiteboard habit never really left. It just changed shape.
