UX: Language & Learning

— PROJECT NAME

UX Design App

Learning & Language


— ROLE

UX Design

Research

Marketing


— DATE

2022

An app to learn and study online with language learning.


This UX Design project involved wireframing and prototyping a low fidelity app using the software Marvel.


This project was the completion piece for a basic course in UX with Career Foundry before starting the 5 month intensive UX Design course that produced Coaching Wizards. It followed the stages of research and definition, design and iteration, prototyping and testing.


This was an excellent learning by doing project where I worked through methods, theory and software. I learned a lot in every area. For example user research showed what people want, competitor analysis showed what was going on, design involved learning and experimenting while creating and testing about how to do it all better and iterate something new and improved.

Other Content

I am an experienced micro blogger and visual and narrative storyteller, and have honed my smartphone photographic skills over the years. I primarily use Instagram to showcase my work, but also in the website and email marketing for a major Berlin international school.


My content involves strong and emotive visual written work that connects with the audience and makes them feel involved and present in a story.


I have 10+ years experience producing successful focused newsletters within organisations. This includes weekly intelligence newsletters for a multicorp and an weekly info and Friends letter for a renowned international school in Berlin, where I was also web admin and content chief editor for 5 years.
