STEPHEN O'HEARN

Senior Instructional Designer, 3D Animator and Immersive Simulation Specialist - Project-based

My background is in story, multimedia instructional design and 3D simulations — this combination allows me to take genuinely difficult subjects and make them simpler, accessible, and teachable.


I focus on construction safety, clinical training, and complex technical processes — work where getting it wrong has consequences.


In the last year I've integrated AI-assisted production into that foundation — not as a shortcut, but as a way to deliver senior-level work faster, at a price point that makes project-based engagement viable for organisations that couldn't previously justify it.


I also build immersive simulations — VR-based training and scenario development for healthcare and construction safety environments, where experiential learning demonstrably outperforms anything on a flat screen.


I work on a project basis. If your training project requires this level of simplification — let's talk.

The Provincial BARSTool Assessment

Training Program

BC Air Ambulance pilots

need to decide if a psychiatric

patient require sedation

prior to transport.


This new assessment tool

and eLearning module

guides them through this

process.

Confined Spaces - WorkSafeBC

Every year workers are injured or

die in confined spaces. WorkSafeBC

is responsible for ensuring companies

comply with safety regulations.


This Train-the-Trainer course allowed

seasoned Prevention Officers to teach

this critical training province-wide.
