About Dr. Andrew Matranga

I design learning systems, editorial frameworks, and narrative experiences that help people make sense of a complex media world.

I work at the intersection of higher education, journalism, and experiential storytelling—helping students, organizations, and communities learn through story, structure, and presence.

My Throughline

Everything I do is shaped by three identities:

Artist

I think in story, rhythm, and structure. My roots are in magazines, editorial design, broadcast journalism, and storytelling—work that values clarity, craft, and meaning.

Educator

I’m a teaching professor and education researcher with an EdD in Curriculum & Instruction. My work focuses on flipped classrooms, teaching presence, experiential learning, and helping students navigate today’s media landscape with confidence and care.

Adventurer

I learn by moving through the world—classrooms, studios, trails, communities, and systems. Curiosity, exploration, and lived experience shape how I teach, design, and collaborate.

These identities aren’t separate roles.

They’re lenses I bring to the same work.


What I Build

My practice lives at the intersection of:

Education

Curriculum design, teaching presence, media literacy, flipped learning, and student-centered pedagogy.

Editorial

Magazine craft, brand journalism, narrative strategy, long-form storytelling, and content systems grounded in reporting and ethics.

Experience

Learning environments, media ecosystems, experiential courses, production workflows, and story-driven journeys that invite participation.

This is where teaching, storytelling, and systems meet.


How I Work

My approach is grounded in a practical, human-centered operating system:

  • The Great Game of Business (GGOB) — transparency, shared understanding, and ownership
  • Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) — clarity, traction, and execution
  • Fluid Pedagogy — my dissertation-based framework for adaptive, presence-driven teaching and design

Together, these shape how I teach, consult, collaborate, and create.

A Note on Purpose

Whether I’m working with students, colleagues, or collaborators, my goal is the same:

To help people understand what they’re seeing, make sense of complex systems, and create stories and experiences that matter.


Let’s connect.
