About Us

Artisan E-Learning is a small company, and we make a big difference for our clients and the people who work for them. At the start of our projects, our clients often have a lot of information, but they don’t necessarily know what to do with it. We lead them through a process that uncovers the needs of their workforce. We help them translate all of their knowledge into a meaningful experience that sticks with their learners. We design activities that are instructionally sound and give the learners the chance to practice what they really need to do. In short, we help them tap the full potential of their people.

We consider the experience and perspectives of the learners, so we can address any objections they might have. We address their inner critic and remove the obstacles that are keeping them from performing their best. 

As colleagues, we know each other as people, beyond our daily job duties. We know that we have hobbies, family members, and pets (who sometimes join our meetings). We know that diversity strengthens our team, equity enriches our mutual experiences, and inclusion ensures each of us can perform to our highest potential. Because we’re a virtual environment, we get to work with a hand-picked team of people from around the country who share our values: 

  • We’re knowledgeable and helpful. 
    • We take pride in our work.
