Randy Yang

L&D Strategic Leader, Innovator, and Author

Hi, thanks for dropping by!

A 10,000-Mile View of What I Do:

I turn needs into plans,
plans into designs,
and designs into training.

I Turn needs into plans, plans into designs, and designs into training.

The result? Scalable, high-impact learning programs that strengthen organizational capabilities and support long-term growth.

My Background

I’ve always loved helping people learn. After earning a Master’s in Education from UCLA, I began my career in K–12 education—where I used hand-drawn cartoons alongside learning strategies to help students understand complex topics. Their enthusiasm encouraged me to turn those ideas into my first educational business.

That journey eventually led me into corporate L&D. Today, I specialize in designing practical, scalable, and learner-centered programs that drive results across industries.
