About
I’m Trisha Rodriguez, an Educational Technologist and Learning Experience Designer with 15+ years of experience building learning ecosystems that drive behavior change, adoption, and measurable outcomes.

When I was a kid, I wanted to work in special effects (SFX). I was fascinated by how visuals, technology, and storytelling came together to create believable worlds. But where I grew up, creative industries like SFX and animation weren’t seen as stable career paths — the work was underpaid, and job prospects were scarce. My parents encouraged me to pursue a degree with stronger earning potential, and computer science became our compromise: practical and future-proof, but still close enough to creative work that I could shape it in my own way.
As I studied computer science, I realised I was less interested in technology itself and more interested in how people learn, understand, and use it. I gravitated toward work that involved explaining complex ideas, designing experiences, and supporting others through learning. That pull eventually led me into an instructional systems track — a space where my technical background and creative instincts finally aligned.
Since then, I’ve worked across universities, global organisations, and consultancies — designing online / offline / blended courses, enterprise learning programs, and faculty development initiatives. Today, my work sits at the intersection of learning strategy, instructional design, and educational technology, with a focus on building learning experiences that are thoughtful, scalable, and grounded in real outcomes. I’m passionate about how design, data, and emerging technologies can be used responsibly to support meaningful learning.
User-first, evidence-based, and grounded in performance outcomes.
Learning ecosystems that connect organisational goals to learner progress.
Modern tools paired with rigorous pedagogy and storytelling.
