STRATEGIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE ARCHITECT
CC LAWHON
I architect quests that become mental landmarks, stories that spark insight, and systems that shift outcomes — because curiosity isn’t a bonus, it’s the blueprint.

Quest 1: Explore the Emerald Isle of Evergreen Enlightenment. Find the House Hologram to understand what I do. Find the compass to reveal my MELD ™ framework of strategic systems building. Find the Spiralup Blueprint to unlock my MO and how I do what I do.
Due to the incapabilities of Wix "mobile optimization" (and I use the term optimization very loosely), you probably can't enjoy questing unless on desktop version of the site. My humblest apologies.

Architectural Overview
I’m a Strategic Learning Experience Architect who designs immersive, story-driven systems that change how people learn — and how organizations think about what’s possible.
​
From K12 to corporate, I’ve built ecosystems that unlock real outcomes: literacy gains of > 125%, onboarding systems that use immersive application to increase retention and quality, and learners who are engaged from within — not just from above. My medium? Games. Stories. Systems. Not as decoration — but as the infrastructure for transformation.
​
I translate between tech, design, learning science, psychology, and operations — building bridges where real learning can finally happen. I’m not here to “fill a role.” I’m here to catalyze change that endures — whether through story-rich learning systems, strategic enablement, or world-class experiences — I build the architecture for real transformation.
​
Whether your goals are clear or still evolving, I can help identify what matters, design the path forward, build the system to get there, and make the journey worth remembering.
MELD Strategic Systems™
Metaphoric Ecosystems for Learning Design
I created a proprietary design framework based on learning science that weaves immersive metaphors, experiential design, and conceptual narrative into scalable learning systems. MELD bridges emotional engagement and instructional integrity — crafting learning that’s not just memorable, but transformational.
Modi Operandi
Metaphoric Ecosystems – crafting learning environments structured as rich, interconnected systems so learners are immersed and invested.
​
Narrative & Quest Design – using stories and game‑style journeys, and embedding proven cognitive learning methods within them, to make learning memorable.
​
Transformation Metrics & Systems Thinking – focusing on real outcomes through researching, strategic planning, measuring impact, and designing for change.
