Autodesk Education Experiences hired me to invent a new kind of learning platform, design two learning prototypes, and conduct user research for their learning conference.

Our 2nd prototype was featured in the CEO’s opening keynote at AU 2017 and AU 2019, and spun out as a plug-in for Fusion 360. Bill Sabram’s engaging and playful research activities at the annual learning conference gathered user feedback and validated the genesis of a new kind of data-driven, in-product learning tool: The Autodesk Learning Engine.
“Bill’s brain is a rare and valuable treasure. He has helped us think differently about how elements of gaming, motivation, rewards, and community can be used to enhance an experience in powerful ways.”
