“People who have worked with Jim love him and his work!”

“Jim Brown is - in a word - amazing. If you are looking for a hard working, creative thinker, go no further than Jim. He truly is the best co-worker to have on your team. His focus on customer experience, quality, and adult learning makes him not just a great instructional designer, but a top notch team player.

Jim reported to me as an instructional designer. From day one, he needed little to no prompting before jumping right into a project. We all know that sometimes eLearning content can be long winded, but not Jim's work. He kept the learner in his sights at all times and made sure the content was easy to understand and digestible to all learning types. He even came up with a whole new internal content creation process that would keep the team on track and provide transparency into the project.

As a manager who juggled multiple projects covering a wide range of topics, I never had to worry about Jim and his work. He was self sufficient and kept me appraised at all times on what was going on. He is truly a gem of an employee. Have Jim join your team, only if you want an amazing, loyal, talented employee!”

The consideration that Jim McKinley Brown brings to his design is exceptional. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Jim building out product curriculums for a digital marketing company. The topics we covered were incredibly technical. The target learners for our courses were new to most of these topics. Jim met the challenge head on, helping our team build out thoughtful, clear courses that explained very complicated concepts effectively. Additionally, Jim helped our team design a process to construct an extensive curriculum within an incredibly tight deadline. Jim’s process included a structured, phased approach to course construction with an acute attention to learner engagement. Thanks to Jim, our team not only finished our 30+ course curriculum within our four month deadline - we finished weeks ahead of schedule. To say that Jim would be an asset to any team is a wild under statement.

I'm delighted to share my experience working alongside my esteemed colleague, Jim McKinley Brown. As an instructional designer, Jim is undoubtedly the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. One of Jim’s most outstanding qualities is his unparalleled ability to master the art of truly listening. In the field of instructional design, where communication and understanding are paramount, Jim’s attentive ear is an invaluable asset. He doesn’t just hear; he listens, and that makes all the difference in creating effective learning experiences.

Jim Brown has an amazing talent for converting a curriculum designed for in-person training to an online format that is comprehensive, interactive, and engaging. His extensive background in distance learning, plus his expertise in literacy and reading made him the perfect person to respond to our call for help when the pandemic hit last March.

Jim's design ideas are second-to-none. Whenever I hear his perspective on something, I feel like I am talking to an expert who knows what needs to be done. For example, I will spotlight the documentation and insight he created regarding how adult learners should absorb questions during assessments. That was super helpful.
