designed a 0→1 education-discovery platform as sole designer across web and mobile, with no existing product to iterate from. ● Led discovery through parent interviews, founder input, and competitive analysis; structured IA spanning Schools, Universities & Courses, Exam Prep, and decision-support tools (Compare, Maps, Catchment). ● Designed a progressive-disclosure map/catchment experience and a three-school comparison feature, replacing open- ended search with a guided decision journey (Discover → Locate → Evaluate → Compare → Act). ● Designed the freemium/premium model and a B2B layer for education providers; launched with 30+ schools, 27,000+ data points, and 10+ tutoring companies on premium subscriptions.

Owned end-to-end UX as sole designer across a 50K+ user platform serving four personas (parent, student, tutor, school), working in Agile sprints alongside the founder, PM, and engineering. ● Diagnosed platform friction using reviews, support feedback, and session/heatmap data; restructured a multi-product catalogue (7+ to GCSE-level exam papers, courses, mocks, tuition) into a unified IA and a single consistent purchase journey (Product → Cart → Checkout → Dashboard). ● Rebuilt navigation and standardized every product page to one layout (what it is, who it's for, what's included, price, fixed CTA); shipped across web and mobile web in 7 months without disrupting a live business ahead of exam season. ● Built and scaled a Figma design system, establishing WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards adopted platform-wide; engineering reported faster build time and improved page performance from component reuse. ● Phase 2: designed an AI-powered marking and analytics system end-to-end — student practice flow, tutor batch management, AI-generated marking with tutor review/override, and a cohort analytics dashboard — now live with 2 schools, 4 tutors, and ~400 enrolled students. ● Facilitated design reviews and stakeholder discussions across a distributed, cross-border team; regularly mentored and gave feedback to fellow designers.
