    Building Content, Systems, and Spaces That Work.

    Hello. I am Dr. Sadie Gunnink, your Learning Architect and Design Strategist

    I’ve always been a builder of systems, of spaces, and of possibility. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve worked at the intersection of education, technology, and design in corporate and K-12 settings, creating learning experiences that make growth tangible and leadership sustainable. Curiosity, purpose, and the desire to innovate are the constants that connect every project I take on.


    From designing global learning ecosystems and gamified reading programs to building homes and gentling mustangs, I’ve learned that real transformation, in any form, begins with vision, patience, and the courage to build something better.

Explore the worlds I build:

Instructional Design & EdTech

Building better ways to teach, lead, and learn.

Leadership & Training

Blending behavioral science and real-world strategy to build better leaders who inspire, influence, and drive results.

Publications & Presentations

Sharing ideas that spark change.

Construction & Design

From blueprints to beautiful spaces.

Let's build something together!

Whether you’re looking for an instructional design consultant, a team or leadership builder, a learning and curriculum strategist, or a creative collaborator, I believe the best projects start with a simple conversation. If you’re exploring ways to build better systems for learning, leadership, or creativity — I’d love to hear from you.
