Testimonials
“I began with Kinnect after Amanda had already started her work. In general when starting a new role I expect a tidal wave of information and a heads-spinning amount of work. With Amanda though, what was a potential anxiety-producing experience was greatly lessened by her professional approach to her work. Her thoroughness, infinite attention to detail, and strong commitment to the learner experience made my work life so much easier. I would work with Amanda again for sure, and if you hire her, you will want to too.”
Joe Sack | Project Manager - OhioKAN
“Amanda was incredibly knowledgeable about a wide variety of innovative tools available to customize for learner needs. She was thorough with gathering information directly from learners about their individual training needs and walks clients step by step through the process of leveraging this information to make sound design decisions. Amanda is generous with her time and resources, and truly builds the capacity of her clients to co-create effective training experiences for learners. You will learn a great deal from working with her, and will be able to use that knowledge to meet your future human-centered design needs!”

“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She made everything so seamless and listened to what I had to say, even when I couldn't think of the exact words. She was thoughtful, encouraging, and patient with me. Thank you, Amanda, for your professionalism and it was nice meeting you.”

“As a creative person with a lot of big, wild, sometimes completely unrealistic ideas, it is so important (and incredibly rare) to find someone who can both respect, inspire, and support your vision and rein you in when you need it. Amanda Bennick is that person. Amanda and I worked closely together for a year and a half to redesign 9 essential onboarding trainings for our program. In that time, she proved herself to be a trustworthy and formidable brainstorming partner, a marvelous active listener, and a thorough, thoughtful representative of herself and our program. She acts with the utmost integrity and takes pride in creating beautiful, impactful work. It wasn't uncommon for me to pitch an idea that I thought was too out there, too complex, too weird, and a couple of days later, receive an email with all sorts of research and additional ideas to consider. Amanda builds relationships and cares deeply about the people she's working with and the vision they have, and she is always anchored in what is best for the learner. She is thorough and precise, taking the time to research, interview, synthesize, and tell the stories of the learners. She affirms strengths any time she sees them, no matter how big or small. She is endlessly curious, playful, and fun. Most of all, she approaches her work with both passion and compassion, and inspires you to learn and grow, just as much as the learners she's designing for.”

“Amanda supported the development of all of our program specific onboarding training to an external learning management system (LMS). Amanda did all of our instructional design work to make this process happen in a smooth and seamless way. She did countless hours of interviews, design work, and testing to support this massive project. She conducted her work in a very thoughtful, cheerful, and thorough way. I truly appreciated the insight and deep knowledge she has of instructional design and the ability to design in a such way that learners' experiences are considered deeply. As we neared the end of our work, Amanda supported us in making sure we can continue the work we started with her guidance. Due to Amanda's tremendous work, we feel empowered to continue designing and implementing programmatic training using an external LMS system. I highly recommend Amanda if you need expertise in training and instructional design for your organization or company. We truly had a wonderful experience working with Amanda on our very large LMS project!”
