:: Janna Chiang ::

Janna Chiang is a learning experience designer, education technologist, and lifelong learner with nearly two decades of experience reimagining how people learn at scale. Her work sits at the intersection of instructional design, UX/UI, and emerging technology, where she architects human-centered, data-informed digital learning ecosystems built for real-world impact.

Based in Northern California, Janna currently leads online learning initiatives for a global education technology company, overseeing programs from early concept and curriculum architecture through launch and continuous improvement. Her role spans learning strategy, stakeholder collaborations, platform constraints, and learner experience design, ensuring that complex content translates into meaningful, engaging outcomes for diverse, global audiences.

Prior to this, Janna served as World Languages and Electives Department Chair at an accredited private online K–12 school, where she led and scaled a distributed team of instructors worldwide. Her responsibilities included talent recruitment, professional development, instructional quality assurance, and performance evaluation, grounding her design practice in both pedagogy and operational reality.

Janna holds a Master of Education and a Master of Business Administration, and she is a Doctor of Education (EdD) candidate at Western Kentucky University. Her academic and professional work increasingly focuses on responsible AI adoption in learning design, including ethical use of large language models, transparency in AI-assisted instruction, and learner-centered governance. She is also an active practitioner of “vibe coding”—a collaborative, intent-driven approach to working with AI that blends systems thinking, rapid prototyping, and creative fluency to move from idea to implementation efficiently and responsibly.

Outside of work, Janna is a devoted parent and an enthusiastic food explorer who enjoys discovering new cuisines and cultures with her children—often finding inspiration for learning design in the process.
