Hi, I’m Chris Bloom! I’m a Learning & Development leader, learning experience designer, and content creator who loves building learning that actually helps people grow. My journey started with music and teaching, and over the years, I’ve blended that creativity with instructional design, multimedia, and enterprise learning strategy to craft programs that are engaging, practical, and memorable.
I have a passion for turning complex ideas into clear, actionable learning experiences. Whether it’s an interactive course, a short video, or a blended program, I focus on what works best for learners while supporting business goals. I’m also a bit of a learning-nerd, always exploring emerging trends, new tools (especially AI), and innovative ways to make content more engaging.

When I’m not designing learning programs, you’ll usually find me:
Cooking and baking (and often making a mess in the kitchen)
Teaching music and helping others discover their own creativity
Spending time with my family - lots of competitive Nertz tournaments
Running a D&D campaign or playing board games with friends
Flailing on the pickleball court—and loving every minute of it
Playing golf and chasing that one perfect shot...okay, chasing my ball out of bounds
Would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out!
