About

I’m Peter Pielaet-Strayer. I design learning experiences across physical and digital environments.

Background / narrative

My interest in learning design started with what I kept noticing in real settings: people don’t just need more information. They need an environment that helps them make sense of what they don’t yet understand, and then act with intention.

I’m currently building in Learning Design & Technology, and I’m especially drawn to the space between moments of instruction—where attention is shaped by context, and progress depends on decisions people can actually make.

How I think / what I care about

  • Structure earns trust. When the learning flow is clear, people can commit to decisions instead of guessing.
  • Environment changes behavior. Physical spaces, gatherings, and atmosphere shape what people notice, what they say, and what they do.
  • Systems should support agency. I design tools (and AI-assisted prototypes) that help people reflect, decide, and keep moving on purpose.
Capabilities

Structure. Environment. Systems.

That’s the combination I work in: structure for usable clarity, environment for engagement and presence, and systems that support reflection and decision-making over time.

Structure

Sequencing, clarity, learning flows, and decision-making support—turning complexity into usable structure.

Environment

Physical spaces, gatherings, atmosphere, and facilitation—context shaping behavior and engagement.

Systems

Tools, AI-supported learning prototypes, and personal systems (like PMBaseline and MentorHub) for reflection + agency.

Systems

Reflection and agency after the moment: what people carry forward, how they decide, and how the experience stays honest about outcomes.

Let’s design learning that people can actually run.
