02 / How I work
From learning needs
to practical capability.
A learning design approach that connects purpose, practice and support for applying new skills.
Understand
Start with the learner.
Identify what people need to do, what gets in their way and what successful performance would look like. Connect learner needs with the organisation’s goals before choosing content or a format.
- Audience needs & context
- Learning & capability gaps
- Clear outcomes
Design
Give learning a clear purpose.
Use outcomes to shape the program structure, learning sequence and delivery approach. Co-design with subject-matter experts and stakeholders so each part of the experience supports a useful next step.
- Program architecture
- Blended learning journeys
- Aligned learning outcomes
Develop
Build opportunities to practise.
Translate expertise into activities, scenarios, participant resources and example learning materials. Make practice and evidence of learning part of the experience.
- Practical activities & scenarios
- Participant tools & resources
- Assessment & evidence of learning
Enable
Support learning in practice.
Consider what learners and facilitators need to use the program. Plan clear guidance, delivery support and ways to connect learning with everyday work and new ways of working.
- Facilitator guidance
- Implementation & delivery planning
- Application & adoption support
Review
Plan how to learn what works.
Define how learning will be assessed and how learner and facilitator feedback can inform design improvements. Plan assessment criteria and evaluation measures alongside the learning experience.
- Assessment criteria
- Learner & facilitator feedback
- Evaluation planning

A designer’s eye.
An educator’s mindset.
Understand people.
Design useful learning.
Build capability.
I’m Arash “Ari” Rahmati, a Sydney-based learning experience and program designer. I bring together human-centred design, classroom teaching and facilitation to make learning clear, practical and relevant to the people using it.
My career spans more than a decade across UX, strategic design, service improvement and stakeholder collaboration in Australia and Asia. That background informs how I understand learner needs, structure complex material and work with subject-matter experts.
My experience includes three years of full-time classroom teaching in Asia. Through Expertyzer, I design learning programs that translate specialist expertise into purposeful participant experiences.
04 / Let’s connect
