Consulting

When information isn’t landing, you’ve got a design gap.

Dr. George works with universities, corporate teams, and brands to diagnose the gap between what’s being communicated and what people actually understand — then closes it with research-backed strategy, not opinion.

Dr. George Consults with

  • Universities & colleges

  • Corporate L&D and training teams

  • Brands and marketing teams

  • Curriculum developers

  • Instructional designers

WHAT Dr. George Offers

Four ways to close the gap.

Audit report + Recommendations

Communication Audit

For organizations where information isn’t landing. Dr. George reviews existing materials — LMS courses, training decks, internal communications, marketing collateral — and delivers a written audit identifying where design decisions are creating cognitive friction, with specific, prioritized recommendations for improvement.

Strategy document + Framework

Instructional Design Strategy

For educators and institutions building better learning experiences. Dr. George applies cognitive load research to evaluate and redesign the instructional architecture of a course, curriculum, or LMS environment so learning actually happens.

Curriculum Framework + Guide

Curriculum Development

For organizations building something from the ground up. Dr. George designs a curriculum framework built on research-backed principles — outcome-first framing, cognitive load management, and typographic hierarchy — so the learning works before a single piece of content is produced.

Brand Audit + Messaging Framework

Brand & Messaging Strategy

For brands where the message is right but it isn’t landing. A strategic audit examining how communications are designed — not just written — combining 25 years of creative direction with PhD-level research on how audiences receive information.
