Patrick Jaranowski

Learning strategist.
SaaS practitioner.

I'm a learning experience designer and architect who specializes in building scalable, high-impact learning programs for SaaS organizations. I go beyond putting content online — I design full learning ecosystems that are accessible, personalized, and measurable.

My approach is rooted in design thinking: I dive deep into user problems, gather cross-functional perspectives, then ideate, prototype, test, and iterate. Whether it's onboarding thousands of new users, enabling a customer success team, or standing up a learning platform from scratch, I lead the full cycle.

Outside of work, family is at the core of everything I do. I recharge in the outdoors, find connection through cooking, and believe the best communities — personal and professional — are built on trust and shared accountability.
