About
My name is Colin Swift
I'm an enablement specialist, instructional designer, startup founder, and creative strategist with a passion for designing systems that help people learn, build, and thrive. Through Purdue’s Learning Design & Technology program, I deepened my ability to connect instructional design principles with real-world innovation, blending human-centered design, emerging tech, and strategic thinking. This program sharpened how I approach learning, not just as a function but as a catalyst for impact. Today, I apply these insights to build AI-powered products, develop scalable training solutions, and consult with organizations looking to future-proof how they teach and grow.
