My name is Urbie. I’m a learning experience designer. I get my inspiration photographing trains.
I’m based in central Arizona, but am most likely tooling around in my CrV somewhere in the southwestern United States filming trains using a drone or GoPro.
I’m a Navy veteran and served on the old Indian Ocean Station, where, in ‘79 I was awarded an Expeditionary Medal for service with Task Force 77.7.
Over time, I became more fascinated with how we learn to problem solve and so I returned to university to earn a degree in behavioral science and an ms ed in instructional design.
Academia
For four years I taught multimedia production at a Phoenix-area community college. A little later I designed video vignettes for a community college in Texas; they introduced students to north Texas horticulture during a 200 series online course.
Financial Services & Telecom
I helped customer service and sales staff understand new products in established and emerging markets, with a special focus on modernizing workflows through design thinking and prototyping.
High Technology Manufacturing
I employed statistical process control methodologies in my work maintaining semiconductor manufacturing equipment in Class 1 environments for ASIC, RAM and CPU fabs and foundries.
