Contribution

Led design across brand and product experience, translating platform strategy into a cohesive system. Defined messaging hierarchy, UI patterns, and modular components for scalable implementation. Ensured content structure, components, and templates worked together to create consistent experience across product, web, and marketing applications.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERED

WHY THIS WORK MATTERED

Higher education buyers need to understand complex platforms quickly and confidently. The existing experience lacked clarity, making it harder to communicate value and differentiate.
