Welcome.
My name is Anwar Montasir and I’m an instructional designer, educator, content writer, designer, developer, and accessibility advocate based in Portland, Oregon.
I have over 20 years’ experience teaching, mentoring, writing curriculum, and creating and delivering both video and in-person lectures for a variety of schools:
Flatiron School
Treehouse
Thinkful
Portland State
PCC
Clark College
Alchemy Code Lab
Art Institute NYC

My specialty is teaching and creating lessons for design and development students:
- Product Design
- UX Design
- UI Design
- User Research
- Information Architecture
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
I believe every great project begins with foundational research, and constantly seek collaboration opportunities with team members and outside partners.
I have a passion for inclusive teaching and place a special emphasis on accessibility. I have introduced rigorous accessibility curriculum at a number of schools that previously had none.
Review my case studies below, and please send me an email if you’d like to partner on a project.
