I'm Renee Latson, Ph.D., a Corporate Instructional Designer and Learning Experience Designer with over 15 years of experience building scalable, performance-based learning solutions across a wide range of industries, including insurance, motor vehicles, IT service and consulting, software development, staffing and recruiting, financial services, education, healthcare, construction, airlines and aviation, consumer services, business consulting, aerospace, SaaS, government, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and hospitality.

I hold a Ph.D. in Education (Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, and Evaluation) from Walden University, along with an M.Ed. from American College of Education and a B.A. in English Education from Robert Morris University — a research-grounded foundation that shapes every learning solution I design.

My work spans full-cycle instructional design, from needs analysis and stakeholder discovery through storyboarding, development, and evaluation. I partner with business leaders, SMEs, and cross-functional teams to translate complex processes, systems, and business requirements into clear, measurable, performance-focused training — applying adult learning theory and multimedia design principles to reduce cognitive load and drive real-world application.

I've designed and delivered learning programs for organizations including Hilton, Amazon, University of Tennessee, Cox, Exeter, Cigna, Cisco, Caterpillar, Uber, Humana, Greenway Health, Freddie Mac, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army, and University of Missouri, among others — building interactive eLearning, microlearning, job aids, scenario-based learning, instructor-led training, and blended learning experiences that improve adoption, retention, and on-the-job performance.

I'm proficient in a comprehensive suite of authoring and production tools, including Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise), Camtasia, Vyond, Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, dominKnow, Inkling, Captivate, Synthesia, Litmos, and Docebo, along with collaboration and project tools like SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, Trello, Visio, and the Microsoft Office Suite.

I'm known for turning complex business needs into clear, learner-centered experiences, and I'm passionate about elevating training quality through research-based instructional methods and measurable performance outcomes.
