Meet Steve
Steve never had a job in Learning and Development. He almost did — nearly 20 years ago, he ran a few soft-skills sessions for a small Aussie college. But when he saw Moodle pop up, he knew the future was digital. So, he taught himself how to build an LMS, started playing in the wild Flash-fuelled world of Storyline, and never looked back.
Five years of freelancing later, he realised the “team of one” thing was getting in the way of impact (and sleep), so he started bringing others along for the ride.
Fast-forward to today, and Learn Awesome has created thousands of learning experiences for clients big and small — winning awards, turning heads, and proving that a tiny Australian learning agency can punch way above its weight.

Grab a Free Copy of Steve's Book!
Steve's offering members of the IDLance Community a totally free copy of his book "The Enough Bucket!" You don't even need to enter your name or email address! This is not a drill! It's a 100% free thing!
If you’ve ever added “just one more resource” at 2 am… this book is for you. The Enough Bucket is a brutally honest (and weirdly therapeutic) read for learning designers who care too much, build too much, and still worry it’s not enough.
It introduces Enough Bucket Dysmorphia—the invisible condition where well-meaning designers keep cramming content, interactions, and edge cases into every module until it’s bloated, boring, and confusing… but still somehow doesn’t feel “done.”

And sorry about these ID Lance characters. They're a bit infantile, don't you think?
