Postgraduate Diploma in Instructional Design is about creating engaging learning experiences that help people develop knowledge and skills. Students combine creativity, research and an understanding of how people learn with digital technologies to design face-to-face, online and blended learning experiences.

PGDip Instructional Design
I’m an educational experience designer passionate about creating transformative learning environments. With a background in Information Design (and now Instructional Design), I approach education as a complex system shaped by context, content, pedagogy, and human experience. My research informs my practice, shaping how I make sense of the world (and education’s role within it). Grounding my work in empathy, critical reflection, and a commitment to authentic knowledge construction, I believe in designing holistic, inclusive, and engaging learning experiences that transcend socio-economic barriers. For me, education is both a design challenge and a human endeavour.

I am an instructional designer with a strong background in education, having begun my career as a teacher. My passion lies in creating engaging, learner-centred materials that make complex ideas clear and accessible. I combine creativity, pedagogy, and technology to design effective learning experiences that inspire curiosity and growth. I enjoy transforming content into meaningful interactions that enable learners not only to understand but also to apply what they learn in real-world contexts.

Hi there, my name is Marga. My design roots lie in architecture, but over the years, I have transitioned to designing learning experiences rather than physical spaces. Guided by experience, I bring structure to learning journeys, strategy to storytelling, and clarity to complex problems. My aim is to create engaging, intuitive experiences that feel thoughtful, connected, and built to last.
