Welcome to Creative Spark Publications
Creative Spark Publications is my creative playground — a space where I experiment with new technologies, explore different ways to tell stories, and develop new strategies to support learning and growth.It’s where I dive into two of my biggest passions:
Communication — writing, storytelling, and finding better ways to connect ideas to people — and
Enablement — building pathways that help teams, learners, and organizations grow smarter, faster, and with greater impact.This isn’t where I run professional projects — it’s where I explore, experiment, and sharpen the skills and insights that fuel my professional world.Thanks for stopping by — and for being curious enough to see what’s possible when creativity, communication, and enablement come together.
About The Substitute’s Notebook Series
The Substitute’s Notebook is a collection of short, funny, and sometimes totally ridiculous stories inspired by Mr. D’s real-life experiences as a substitute teacher at a local middle school. From mysterious time holes to talking hamsters and everything in between, these tales are packed with imagination, chaos, and just enough truth to make you wonder… could this actually happen?!
Jimmy Jones and the 8th Period Time Hole
What if your science class accidentally opened a swirling time hole—and your hamster was the first to disappear? Dive into Jimmy Jones and the 8th Period Time Hole, where failed experiments, lava lamps, and a kid from 1985 collide in the weirdest way possible.Read the story HEREListen to the review Podcast!Download the Parents and Teachers Guide
Creative Spark Publications isn’t just about telling a fun story — it’s a real-world experiment in how AI and today’s accessible creative tools can power learning, enablement, and growth.In the past, building something like this — custom illustrations, writing prompts, student worksheets, podcast tie-ins — would’ve taken a full creative team and months of work.
Now? A single creator, armed with the right tools and a clear mission, can create targeted, personalized content in a fraction of the time.Today’s technology allows us to deliver learning experiences faster, more dynamically, and more personally than ever before. I’ve personally worked with teachers, educators, and professional organizations to help expand their study and training materials on the fly — right when it’s needed most.For example, after a quick classroom quiz, one teacher realized their students were struggling with a specific concept. Using AI tools, we created a set of story-based review materials that students could access offline — no extra burden on the teacher.
The result? Higher engagement. Better comprehension. Noticeable improvement in test scores.But Creative Spark Publications is more than just educational support.
It’s also my professional innovation lab — a place where I experiment with the newest tools, techniques, and AI-driven strategies shaping the future of Enablement:Building AI agents for content delivery and training support.Designing dynamic microlearning experiences.Creating story-driven engagement pathways for faster comprehension.Developing systems where AI amplifies — not replaces — the human side of teaching, learning, and sales enablement.Whether it’s a student mastering a tough concept or a sales rep mastering a complex product, the goal is the same:
Empower people to grow faster, more confidently, and more joyfully.With the right tools — and the heart to use them well — we can meet learners, customers, and teams exactly where they are.
And we can help them get where they want to go, faster than ever.
