I went to Korea to develop new skills and returned with a calling I never knew I always had.

Here's how I’m an instructional designer.

Hi!

  • This diverse foundation has shaped my approach, allowing me to adopt a systematic and iterative process – skills rooted in my engineering background.

I'm Dustin Tran, an instructional designer with a rich background that encompasses engineering, education, and content creation.

  • With my educational foundation, I've honed the ability to conduct thorough learner and needs analyses, enabling the creation of impactful, learner-centered experiences.

  • From my experience in content creation, I've cultivated a knack for crafting striking visual designs – a skill further enhanced by my understanding of storytelling, content flow, SEO, and viewer/learner retention.

What truly sets me apart is my abilities to empathize and step into others' perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding.

Moreover, I possess the talent to grasp visionary concepts, even when they're not articulated 100% clearly, comprehending both the bigger picture and the synergy of its individual parts.

With a genuine love for learning and personal development, I’m not just eager to remain informed about emerging technologies and trends; I’m equally committed to consistently enhancing my skills and nurturing team growth.

Fun Facts.

I love KBBQ, pesto pasta, and pandan ice cream.

I have a dairy allergy (sad, I know).

“How do you enjoy the above?” Dairy alternatives.

And ask questions. Lots of questions.

I enjoy traveling – I’ve been to South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, France, England, and Italy so far.

I've recently become obsessed with musicals after attending Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King in London.

Yes, that’s me in actual water.

Oh, and I’ve met Pope Francis.

Not kidding. Ask me about it. 👇
