The Opportunity
Teachers were spending hours every week piecing together lesson plans, calendars, and resources across multiple tools. Existing products were either too rigid, too bloated, or lacked proper collaboration features.
The vision: create a central hub where teachers could plan lessons, align with curriculum standards, and organize resources — all without adding extra administrative burden.
Lessons from the Teachers
Planning was fragmented across spreadsheets, notes, and chat threads. Switching contexts cost time. The ask was simple: a place to plan lessons, keep materials together, and see the week at a glance without visual noise.
What mattered most:
A calm workspace with clear hierarchy.
Fast creation and reuse of plans.
Easy attachment and organization of materials.
A weekly view that mirrors how teachers actually work.
This shaped the product toward clarity over features and a system that reduces clicks, not adds them.
What I did
Defined information architecture and core planning flows.
Designed low to high fidelity screens and interactive prototypes.
Built a lean design system for consistent, fast iteration.
Created the visual identity and branding.
Worked hand in hand with product and engineering.
Presented concepts and progress to stakeholders and external partners.
Communicated design decisions clearly across disciplines.
Supported handoff and QA to ensure implementation stayed true to design.
