Designing refreshing digital learning experiences

Hello, I’m Derek Philip-Xu and I’m a digital learning designer, content developer and publishing consultant.

I am the founder and owner of Refreshing Publishing.

At Refreshing Publishing, I provide publishing consultancy, digital learning design and content development services to a wide variety of educational and corporate clients throughout the world. These clients include international educational publishers, ed tech companies, corporates and non-profit organisations.

For over twenty years now, I've been involved in educational publishing, commissioning and developing eLearning courses for international markets. And now I'm taking all the knowledge and experience I've gained and putting it into my business, Refreshing Publishing.

Refreshing Publishing takes advantage of that experience, ultimately enabling me to design and develop high-quality, accessible and on-spec digital learning.

He is a true professional and explained the aims of the project very clearly. His feedback was constructive and supportive. I look forward to working with Derek again in the future and cannot recommend him enough.
