Knewton: Adaptive learning product

Educational Product Design

Knewton was a free, browser-based adaptive learning platform for users of all ages. My work focused on maintaining the product’s visual design and directing the creation of topic illustrations and iconography. Collaborating with a product manager and engineering team, I designed the Learn Flow interface and interactions for desktop and mobile. I also helped establish a living style guide to support consistency across design and development.
