“IDLance—where do I start?! Within a span of a couple of months, these brainiacs managed to learn an entirely new lingo (infant hearing tests and more), read between the lines of what we needed, and turn out three beautiful and easy-to-digest training modules. They worked tirelessly to make this final product exactly what we wanted (without even knowing what we wanted). After showing our training modules to others, we’ve had multiple organizations ask for their contact information so they can use their services as well. To say I’d highly recommend IDLance is an understatement. They are knowledgeable, fast-working, and so creative!”

Melanie Carter Morris, Au.D.

Access to Language

The folks at IDLance were very helpful and contributed to the success of our very large project (22 technical modules!) that needed to be created on a fast-paced time schedule to meet our client’s needs. We reached out to Parker and he responded quickly with a technical writer that fit the bill. Chris was very dedicated to the project, and his technical expertise was impressive, as well as his ability to create some technical graphics to support the content. He had good ideas for interactivity, and kept the audio script short and concise, just how we like it! I feel confident that we can count on IDLance in the future when we need additional instructional designers to help us create engaging eLearning.

“This was our first time working beside a design team. IDLance listened to our needs, dug deep to fully understand what we wanted to accomplish, and then created products that FAR SURPASSED our expectations. The team was available, knowledgeable, courteous, down to earth, and showed a passion that matched our own. We will be using their talents again.”

Erica Jones

Program Director at the Katherine Hamm Center, Atlanta Speech School

"I had an incredible experience working with the IDLance team. They helped us deliver a best-in-class Kitchen Manager Development training program to Outback Steakhouse. Additionally, I developed life-long connections and friendships with the IDLancers I partnered with. They help me to continue to develop personally and professionally. I would recommend them to any business or organization looking for an exceptional freelance team!"

Katie Shrum

Manager of Field Training and Development, Bloomin’ Brands International

“Our partnership with the IDLance team has been AWESOME. Their creativity, attention to detail, and impeccable execution across various use cases have directly impacted Arist course development, both for our customers and our internal course library. Everyone’s balanced blend of humor and professionalism invigorated the many projects we collaborated on, making each process from start to finish such a joy. The IDLance team excelled at bringing our projects to life, delivering results time and time again! Thank you, IDLance team!"

"I love the IDLance Slack community! This is the only group of other ID folks I have found who are all specifically interested in freelancing and it's so wonderful to jump on Slack and have conversations with other like-minded people. The atmosphere is so supportive and relaxed. Of course, we ask and answer questions, but there's a pretty good amount of randomness too! Anywhere from pics of our amazing work-from-home outfits to random articles or videos we find. As someone new to the field, I was doubting if freelancing would even be a viable option but, the IDLance crew has not only given me valuable advice and tips but they have given me my first gig!"

"Mom starting IDLance alongside Parker has been a really great experience for me. My quality of life has skyrocketed since she's been working from home. More cuddles, more pup cups, more treats, more scratchies. The other day I had to explain Cognitive Load Theory to her, but other than that, I'm really thriving."
