    Curious how quickly an idea can become a working digital experience? Join us for a live demonstration of Lovable, where we’ll walk through how concepts turn into clickable, usable prototypes in real time. Designed for learning, tech, and L&D professionals, this session showcases how Lovable can accelerate creation, reduce friction, and support rapid experimentation, without requiring deep technical skills. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s possible and how to apply it in your own work.

    By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

    • Describe how Lovable supports rapid prototyping from concept to clickable experience
    • Identify practical use cases for Lovable within learning, training, and L&D workflows
    • Recognize opportunities to reduce development time and iterate more quickly using Lovable

His work focuses on translating ideas into practical, scalable learning experiences that balance innovation, usability, and real-world constraints.

    With a background in digital learning, product thinking, and technology-enabled design, Timothy is passionate about reducing friction in the creation process and helping teams move from concept to clickable solutions efficiently. He leverages Microsoft 365 tools, including Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI to streamline workflows, enhance team productivity, and deliver actionable data insights that improve decision-making for strategic leaders. Timothy brings a hands-on, practitioner perspective to showcasing tools such as Lovable or Power Automate, demonstrating how thoughtful technology choices can accelerate learning design and improve outcomes for all learners.
