Great Minds

While working at OrangeYouGlad

A platform and suite of digital tools to educate k-12 remotely.

Over three years, I led in project managing with Great Minds. This included assisting with UX, creating the UI design system, and building and maintaining a design library for a platform that lets educators teach their students digitally. I led in creating the digital universe that both teacher and student use to experience the rich and complex curricula created by Great Minds. For students I included more color, illustration, large buttons, and simplified navigation. For teachers, I added more structure and strict rules to make order out of complex functionality and multiple layers of content.

Designing for Two Audiences

The challenge was to design an education platform for both teachers and students that addresses their unique needs while also feeling like a unified program.

A Platform That Can Do It All

Teaching digitally is complex considering different devices, accessibility needs, and a vast age range of users. This led to designing everything from an eReader to student tracking and reporting, and even an educational game app.

Building a Robust Design System

I created a fully documented design system to assist in current and future development. There was a big focus to ensure that the whole system was fully accessible by adhering to ADA’s AAA standards.
