Rick Diehl

VISUAL STORYTELLER / LEARNING PROFESSIONAL Many aspects of learning have not changed for thousands of years — we learn from stories. What has changed is the rich media by which we tell our stories and teach each other. My career has brought me from the early days of e-Learning to the current digital world. I am part writer, a business partner, part graphic artist, part video/motion graphic designer, an info-graphic creator and part-time animator/illustrator. My craft is designing learning solutions and user experiences that tell stories to move minds, careers and organizations forward. I am very fortunate to practice my craft at Fidelity Investments within a great group of kindred creative, instructional and UXD professionals. I am a dyed-in-the-wool, multi-decade, Adobe Creative Cloud zealot with real-world, real project experience in Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Premiere, Audition... And the list goes on. I love what I do, especially the creative part. A story well told in imagery, text, or both makes me smile.
