Our Story
WiseUp Digital was founded in 2019 by Dr. Eric Cornish and Dr. Tommy Demos to design transformative Professional Learning Experiences that elevate teaching, learning, and creative leadership.
What began as a digital design and technology consultancy has evolved into a company focused on delivering immersive, high-impact learning experiences for educators, school leaders, and organizational teams across the country and internationally.
We partner with forward-thinking institutions that believe creativity is not optional — it is essential. Our work blends instructional innovation, responsible AI integration, and real-world creative workflows to help educators and teams move beyond compliance-based professional development toward meaningful, practical growth.
Our facilitators bring deep expertise in creative technology ecosystems, including Adobe Creative Cloud, but our learning experiences are never tool-dependent. They are strategy-driven, people-centered, and designed to produce measurable shifts in practice.
Our Mission
At WiseUp Digital, we design Professional Learning Experiences that empower educators and organizations to cultivate creativity, innovation, and future-ready thinking. We move beyond traditional professional development by creating live, engaging, and application-focused experiences that:
• Strengthen instructional creativity
• Integrate responsible AI in meaningful ways
• Enhance communication and collaboration
• Align with national standards for creative and critical thinking
• Translate directly into classroom and organizational impact
Our mission is to help leaders and teams build environments where creativity becomes a daily practice, not an occasional initiative.
Our Vision
WiseUp Digital strives to redefine what professional learning can be.
We envision schools and organizations where professional learning is not a passive event, but a dynamic catalyst for transformation. Where educators model creativity. Where leaders foster innovation with confidence. Where AI and emerging technologies are used responsibly and strategically.
By designing experiences that are immersive, relevant, and deeply human, we aim to shape a future in which professional learning fuels cultural change — not just skill acquisition.
