Need a Second Opinion?
Still tweaking that one slide for the tenth time?
Thinking “This just doesn’t feel right, but I don’t know why…”
Quick, personalized feedback to get you moving.
So many Instructional designers get stuck at the visual design stage. You’ve built the content, you’re proud of the ideas—but the visuals feel “off” and you don’t know how to fix them.
You start tinkering. Changing fonts. Re-aligning shapes. Then undoing it all because… it still doesn’t feel better. Eventually, you either hit “good enough” or give up altogether. But your work—and your learner—deserves better.
The Visual Design Nudge is here to help. This is a friendly, personalized design review made to give you clarity and momentum—without the overwhelm. You’ll upload your slides inside a private client portal, and within 3 business days, I’ll send you: 🎥 A 30-minute Loom video walking through your project and a short list of the most impactful visual design tweaks you can make—right now.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all checklist or a harsh critique. It’s a warm, encouraging creative check-in—that helps you see what’s working, what could use a shift, and exactly where to focus next to make the biggest difference for your learner.
Perfect for people who are:
Building their portfolio projects
Looking for a safe, supportive space to ask,“What am I missing?”
In need of a creative reset—so they can stop spinning their wheels and start moving again
Feeling unsure about how your slides look, even if the content is solid
Wanting guidance without committing to a full coaching package (yet)
Tried of overthinking fonts, spacing, and layout—but still care deeply about getting it right
Wanting feedback that’s kind, constructive, and tailored to THEM
want all the details...
How Does This Work?
01
Once you book, you’ll get an email with everything you need—including a quick welcome and a link to upload your project. No portals. No passwords. Just easy-peasy, inbox-to-insight.
02
Next, upload your files —screenshots, PowerPoint decks, PDFs, Storyline review links, or even Google Slides. There’s also a short and sweet questionnaire to help me understand where you’re feeling stuck (and what you’re proud of!).
03
With in 3 Business Days of uploading your files, you’ll receive a personalized Loom video + a list of suggested edits to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. I focus on the visual side of your project—layout, spacing, font use, consistency, and color—not your content or learning strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is this a live call?
Nope—and that’s the point! You’ll get a Loom video that you can watch on your own time (and rewatch whenever you need a refresh). No scheduling, no Zoom fatigue.
How fast will I get my review?
You’ll receive your Loom video within 3 business days after you upload your file into the client portal.
How do I send you my slides?
Screen Shots or Power Point files work great. You can also send PDFs, a Storyline 360 review link or Google Slides.
Do I need to be “good at design”?
Nope! This offer was made especially for beginners or folks still figuring things out. I’ll explain my suggestions clearly and simply—this is about growth, not being perfect.
What if I want more support after this?
If we vibe (and I think we will 💛), you’ll get an invite to upgrade to my 1:1 coaching program: Visual Design Sidekick — where we can work together more deeply on projects.
What about refunds?
Because this is a personalized service that begins as soon as you book, there are NO refunds. I pour time, energy, and thoughtful attention into every review—and I take your trust seriously. That said, if something feels off or unclear, please reach out. I’m kind and professional, and I’ll always do my best to make sure you feel supported.
WHO IS THIS CHICK?
Hey, I'm Sarah
If we haven’t met yet, here’s the quick version:
I’ve spent 20+ years in the graphic design world (let’s not do the math 😅), while also homeschooling my kids. When I discovered instructional design, it didn’t feel like a pivot — it felt like the perfect expansion. A way to blend creativity, my love of learning, and human-centered visual design in one place.
Now, I help course creators and instructional designers feel less stuck and way more confident with visuals. When I’m not reviewing slides, you’ll find me helping my kids with homework, desperately trying to garden, or sitting by a fireplace (because I’m forever cold).
I’m so glad you found me.
