HANNAH KNECHT, M.Ed.

Learning Leader | Instructional Designer

I am a learning and development professional with 15+ years of experience designing engaging online learning for children and adults. I specialize in creating impactful training programs, leading agile teams, and aligning learning solutions with organizational goals. My work focuses on identifying learning needs and delivering innovative, practical, and learner-centered experiences.

I bring strong strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and clear communication to every project, with a passion for helping organizations grow through effective learning and development.

I’m often described as a “Mary Poppins”—bringing creativity, levity, and a sense of possibility to the work while still keeping teams focused and moving forward. I thrive at the intersection of learning, technology, and people, where complex challenges become meaningful and even enjoyable solutions.

Explore my project samples below, and I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and see how I can support your team.
