Jonathan Axtell

Learning Designer

Employed Available
I've spent my career designing and building organizations that enable people to live better lives through learning. Now I channel those experiences to transform learning through designing and building boundary pushing experiences and courses.

My career has spanned teaching socially conscious business students in China to creating a community bike business in Zambia. I hold an MBA from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and speak Mandarin Chinese. In my free time I'm an avid supporter of local music and neighborhood issues. I love traveling, other cultures, and most importantly, developing meaningful relationships and community.
