Where thoughtful design meets practical delivery
Welcome to Learning DesignSmith
We don’t just build courses - we smith solutions.
We believe training shouldn’t feel like a checkbox. When learning is relevant, well-timed, and tied to real work, it becomes a lever for growth, not just compliance.
At Learning DesignSmith, we build learning experiences that stick, grounded in adult learning theory and designed for action. That means respecting learners’ time, embedding content into real workflows, and making training feel useful, not mandatory.
Every project starts with your goals, your audience, and your voice. Together, we co-create learning that reflects your company’s culture and solves real problems, whether that’s onboarding, client education, internal training, or modular assets that help consultants extend the impact of in-person sessions.
Led by founder, Kelly Smith, we help startups, nonprofits, and small businesses build capacity through thoughtful, scalable learning, without sacrificing connection.
