About Me

Hi, I’m Amber Johnston, a Learning Experience Design leader with over a decade of experience creating impactful, skills-focused learning solutions for higher education and corporate audiences. My work centers on designing inclusive, engaging experiences that support real-world application and foster meaningful learner outcomes.

Rooted in a learner-first philosophy, my approach blends instructional strategy, visual design, and a deep commitment to accessibility. As a DHS Trusted Tester, I embed accessibility best practices into every stage of the design process — not as an afterthought, but as a foundation for equitable learning. I specialize in hands-on, skills-based learning for adult learners, and bring a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset to working with subject matter experts and cross-functional teams.

I bring an approachable, effective presence to my work, grounded in a genuine commitment to quality and impact. I value clarity, creativity, and collaboration, and I strive to design learning experiences that are not only well-structured but also deeply engaging. As a lifelong learner, I’m always exploring new ideas and evolving my practice to better serve diverse learners and ever-changing contexts.
