Miranda Hamilton
Instructional Designer
About me
I’m a creative and globally-minded instructional designer with over 16 years' experience designing course content and assessment materials. I've worked with a range of educational institutions in Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East & North Africa region.
​
My background includes English-language materials and course writing, teacher training and development, and English-language and academic skills teaching. I hold a Diploma in Digital Learning Design, which I completed with distinction, along with various professional qualifications in teaching and teacher training. Additionally, I have a Fine Art degree, which has shaped my approach to creating learning content.

My approach to creating learning experiences
​​
I get to the core of a problem or opportunity by actively listening and asking targeted questions. When creating design plans, I adopt a learner-centric perspective, drawing on my knowledge of learning theories, analysis of the learners’ needs, course design principles, and learning technologies.
​
Collaboration is key for me and I love making genuine connections with the team I’m working with. I strive to create a supportive, open and honest working environment in which all stakeholders are able to share knowledge and doubts freely.
​
I ensure high standards by conducting thorough reviews and robust testing. After a project has been implemented, I use tools and resources to evaluate the success of the project, then reflect on and make pragmatic adjustments to enhance its effectiveness.
A bit more about me
I am an inherently creative and curious person who loves to learn, explore new places and meet new people. After completing my Fine Art degree, I left the UK to live in Colombia where I started teaching and training, and realised how much I loved to help people learn. Since then, I’ve lived in Mexico, Singapore and Spain, and have worked in a host of other incredible countries.
​
I have a passion for learning, whether it’s language learning, art & design, dance, or discovering more about the culture and people around me. This love for learning has driven me to continue to develop my own professional skills and knowledge, helping me to experience an exciting and dynamic career in the field of training and education.
