Hello! We're the team that designs, writes, and builds the free on-demand courses and dynamic instructor-led training you’ll find in Atlassian Learning.
Our new “Behind the scenes with Atlassian Learning” series will offer a window into our philosophy and process, including how we use Atlassian products ourselves. We’d love to hear your feedback and insights along the way.
But first, we’d like to introduce ourselves.
Garrett Marttinen leads the Learning Content Design team. Garrett lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is passionate about bringing delightful learning experiences to life to empower customers. In his free time, he enjoys finding new coffee shops as he travels.
Ellen Walter, a Senior Learning Designer on the team, lives in California and is trying to visit every California state park.
Becky Mueller, a Senior Learning Designer on the team, lives in Texas. She enjoys playing fingerstyle pieces on the guitar and has a mischievous cat named Tortilla Soup.
Emily McKeown, the team's Content Strategist, lives in Colorado. She's been playing music all her life and plays clarinet in a Denver concert band.
Jay Jarman, a Senior Instructional Designer on the team, lives in Tennessee, where he and his wife run a farm and raise Angora goats.
Michelle Cacciapaglia, a Senior Instructional Designer on the team, lives outside Boston and loves to garden. In the warmer months, she grows a large garden full of vegetables, fruit, and flowers from seeds.
Shaun Prinster, a Senior Learning Designer on the team, lives in Utah and likes to golf, ski, mountain bike, and watch movies with his family.
Chris Urra, an Instructional Designer on the team, lives in San Diego and didn't drive until he was 27!
Emma Wolstencroft, an Instructional Designer on the team, lives in sunny coastal Kent in the UK. Her favorite non-Atlassian work experience was going on tour with a Japanese speed metal band.
Kashmira Shukla, an Instructional Designer on the team, lives in California and likes to dance for exercise.
Morgan Mapstone, a Learning Experience Designer on the team, lives in Brooklyn and will (attempt to?) learn how to surf this summer at a retreat in Morocco.
Chelsea Yang, a Learning Designer on the team, lives in Georgia. She loves traveling, film, and cooking (especially breakfast food!).
Julia Eddington, the team's Technical Editor, lives in New York. She loves to read (short stories are a favorite) and once hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Very nice to meet the team behind the magic! I second Jimmy's statement; every course is so well thought-out and so far each course has been able to provide a lot of learnings. Even after using the tools for so long, there are still ways I managed to use it better thanks to the courses in the University Learning Centre. 😁
