About

I’m Megan Browning, an instructional design and learning professional who blends research, performance thinking, and clear, learner-friendly training materials to help teams and customers succeed. Across roles in customer enablement, onboarding, and support training, I’ve built and improved learning experiences in many formats, partnering closely with product, marketing, operations, and subject-matter experts.

I also bring a strong design foundation from my graphic design background, including creating polished visual assets and training content that’s both engaging and practical. From leading instructional design teams to developing role-based learning ecosystems, I focus on identifying needs early, designing the right level of knowledge, and continually iterating based on feedback and outcomes.
