Chad-Michael Simon

Conceptor

Chad draws metaphoric pictures that illustrate clients’ critical business issues. The metaphors are then developed into custom learning applications.

In his 11 years at Root, he has created blended learning solutions for a variety of clients across a wide range of industries including Bank of America, Bayer CropScience, Choice Hotels, Dow Chemical, FirstEnergy, IBM, Lowe’s, Procter & Gamble, and Pulte Homes.

Chad’s experience at Root is broad. He spent eight years as a member of the design team, doing voice-overs for eLearning modules, and real-time sketching to capture conversations or begin the Learning Map® development process. He co-created a custom module on safety that was used 1,000 feet underground in South African mines by a diverse group of workers who spoke several languages.

He holds a BA in studio art from the University of Toledo, and has worked as a teacher/counselor at a computer camp for children, teaching storytelling, 3-D animation, and video editing.
