Devlin Peck
Whether you're trying to land a full-time job or freelance clients, it's tough to stand out. There's a lot to know and do to stay competitive, and keeping up with it all can feel overwhelming.
However, you don't want to settle for low-paying opportunities—or, worse, spend years on the job market without success.
People don't hire instructional designers because of years on a resume or fancy credentials. They hire instructional designers who can solve their problems.
When you have the right skillset, you can demand high salaries, attract freelance clients, and establish yourself in the field. You can solve real problems and get noticed for it, too.
I'm here to help.
When I first met Devlin, I was a tenured professor at a research university and felt trapped in my job. I wanted to transition into corporate instructional design, but I lacked the concrete, nuts-and-bolts knowledge of how to fill in my skill gaps, build a portfolio, and pitch myself in a job application.
With Devlin’s 1-on-1 support and guidance, I went in six months from never having heard of instructional design to landing an ID role at Amazon Web Services. So many exciting doors have opened for me, including career progression, geographic mobility, healthier work-life balance, and better pay.
Devlin has helped me jumpstart my career into something that gives me better work-life balance — and literally double the salary, too!

As I was finishing up my master's degree, I felt uneasy about the corporate job search. I reached out to Devlin because I wanted to put together a portfolio that would help me get hired, but I also wanted to learn the tools of the trade so I wouldn't feel like a fish out of water after getting the job.
Devlin's support, coaching, and feedback helped me learn the right skills, create a portfolio, and build my confidence as a professional ID. I was able to land a great job in the city I wanted to move to with a salary that exceeded my expectations.
I started my freelance eLearning business as a master's student in 2017. Since then, I've developed eLearning for dozens of clients and millions of people worldwide.
Along my journey, I've found that I really love helping instructional designers thriveThat's why I now spend most of my time creating content for people in the instructional design and eLearning space. It's where I've been able to have the largest impact, and that impact has become extremely motivating and fulfilling.
I still work with select freelance clients who need story-driven, scenario-based eLearning experiences that produce real change in people's lives. I'm always down to work on cool data-driven projects with xAPI, too, so feel free to reach out to me about any of the above.
