I design learning experiences that actually change how people work.
Instructional designer and learning strategist specializing in AI literacy, faculty development, and scalable eLearning for higher education and enterprise teams.
What I Do
-
From needs analysis to SCORM delivery, I design and build interactive courses that meet learners where they are. Specialties include AI literacy training, compliance modules, and faculty development programs built in Articulate Rise, Captivate, and major LMS platforms.
-
I translate complex institutional goals into structured, accessible learning paths. My approach is grounded in UDL, cognitive load theory, and evidence-based design — not templates.
-
I turn cluttered intranets into intuitive, user-friendly hubs. Whether you need a new site architecture, streamlined workflows, or a full redesign, I bring UX thinking to every build.
Trusted by higher ed leaders and organizations to deliver training that works.

About Me
I’m Deb Mattoso — a Senior Instructional Designer with a Master’s in Instructional Design and Technology and a UX Design certificate from Cornell. I’ve spent six years in higher education designing faculty training, building AI literacy programs, and making complex content accessible and engaging. I also teach yoga, because how you approach anything is how you approach everything.
