Fantasy World-building for eLearning

Aureus is a fast-growing education company developing a teaching app that delivers music arts lessons for children, based around a unique fantasy world and a cast of charming, magical characters.
Adhering to the existing characters and IP, I helped craft the lore of the fantasy universe; created character backstories; and helped standardize special powers and magical rules. The resulting style guide makes it easier for distributed teams to track details of the levels and characters, so there’s consistency across all assets.
I also wrote beta versions of the short stories and character dialogues that guide students through their journeys.
“Discover our Aureus Interactive Storybooks – where every page reveals your next incredible story. With every Grade, learners adventure with 5 enchanting characters, explore 10 dazzling Storybooks, and master 20 magical songs, and hundreds of thrilling plot twists and turns!”
“Chip was an absolute joy to work with. Phenomenal writer and highly professional!”
— SS, Aureus Academy
Story Development for Kids’ Movie-Making App

The “MovieToons” movie maker app engages kids and parents in educational and funny activities. Children can use provided scripts or write their own, then animate characters and export movies to share with friends and family.
I wrote several short scripts for the Beta launch, giving young creatives a starting point for their storytelling journies.
“I liked your scripts! Thank you! I will come back to you for more stories! Again, thank you for your help!”

Writing Prompts for Children’s Creative Writing Platform

Shakespeers (now Young Inklings) is an educational platform for kids to learn about creative writing and share their writing projects with others.
My job was to help create the first 100 daily writing prompts, giving creative inspiration to young writers. Prompts will rotate daily, and honestly they were a blast to write!
“We had a fantastic experience working with Chip and would recommend him enthusiastically. He is an imaginative writer, a clear communicator, and a proactive teammate. He consistently delivered high quality work on time, and he incorporated feedback quickly and effectively. I hope to work with him again on future projects!”
— Elizabeth Slavitt, Founder, Shakespeers
Scriptwriting for Health Supplement Animations

I was approached by a health supplement startup to write edutainment scripts for their growing YouTube channel.
The product line included a variety of “gut health” supplements, and the videos needed to explain how a healthy and balanced “gut biome” helps with energy and general well-being.
Narration scripts required simplification of complex health and science topics, and references for animators to understand what should be on screen throughout the videos.
I also did some of the character design work.
“Really happy… looks great!”
— JC, Founder
CareAcademy Home Healthcare Training

When CareAcademy was in its early startup phase, I wrote more than 100 scripted training scenarios, courses, and narrations. Their learners earn certifications that provide a better level of care for patients, and new work opportunities for caregivers. CareAcademy has since raised more than $20MM.
“We wouldn’t be the company we are without your work. Hugely grateful for your contributions!”
— Mindy Wallis, Instructional Designer, CareAcademy
UAE Government Digitalization Training

This eLearning project for the UAE’s New Media Academy included more than 125 individual lessons. The initiative is designed to inspire public and private sector leaders and partners to embrace the concepts of digitalization, improving the quality and delivery of critical government services.
Turo Business Dev Training

I wrote this business development series for Turo. It helps Turo’s partner hosts build successful car-share businesses with their spare vehicles or whole fleets of dedicated rental cars.
“Chip was a pleasure to work with! Always timely, quick to respond, and extremely detailed.”
— Rachel Siu, Marketing Program Manager, Turo Canada
McKinney-Vento At-Risk Student Training

I wrote a series of courses for McKinney-Vento to help school districts implement effective homeless education programs, training staff and administrators to better identify the signs of homelessness and connect students to their local liaison.
“Chip has been amazing to work with. He is a great writer. Any feedback or questions we had, he was very responsive. We were never left in the dark! Oh, and he is very quick with turnaround. We will be hiring Chip again.”
— Toniann Andujar, McKinney-Vento.org
Bedrock Financial Federal Retirement Training

I wrote over 60 video online training courses, along with supporting assets like ebooks and brochures, aimed at both advisers and retirees. The training explains the delicate ins and outs of Federal retirement, including CSRS, FERS, FEGLI, TSP, SSI, and more.
“Chip goes above and beyond and can’t help but think deeply and analyze every project he is working on. He will be an invaluable resource for any project you need assistance on. Definitely hire this person for your endeavors, you won’t be sorry!”
— Jennifer Ong, Bedrock Financial
Riiid Student Testing Training

Riiid is a South Korean technology provider serving the education market. I wrote eLearning scripts and supporting assets that help high school students understand how the new digital SAT and ACT tests are administered and how to prepare for success.
“Super awesome, thanks Chip! I absolutely liked your research part, where you added more details to make the script fuller. Appreciate your work!”
— P.T., Riiid
