challenge
Ambiguity, vision, and the need for clarity
The product owner had a strong vision—help Fortune 500 companies prove the business impact of training—but no product yet. My challenge as founding designer was to turn early business requirements into user stories, prototypes, and ultimately a clear MVP. I needed to transform ambiguous “what it should do” ideas into tangible “how users experience it” flows, while building a foundation that could scale. (Shown: administrator view of the content library.)
process
From user stories to systems
I worked closely with product owners to translate early business requirements into clear user stories and prototypes. Through rapid, iterative design I shaped those goals into a cohesive visual system—prioritizing user experience while ensuring the MVP delivered its most critical functionality. (Some content details have been redacted to respect confidentiality.)
After the engagement, I also created a motion mockup to demonstrate how navigation and hierarchy could be expressed through UX motion. While not part of the original scope or deliverables, it illustrates my approach to making complex interactions feel clear and intuitive.
Outcome
Design craft enabling business traction
I delivered the MVP design that realized the CEO’s product vision, creating the navigation, administrator backend, and content library. My work included establishing a lean design system, designing intuitive tagging and content organization, shaping navigation and hierarchy for clarity, applying editorial art direction, curating distinctive illustration assets, and structuring Figma files for smooth developer handoff.
These design decisions enabled the MVP to generate pre-launch revenue and support enterprise adoption with clients like Honda, Scotiabank, Home Depot and RBC. They also unlocked core business features: A/B testing to prove training impact, LMS/LXP integration for scale, and personalized learning powered by questionnaires and machine learning.

This project shows how I thrive in 0→1 contexts—turning vision into a usable product, and design systems into measurable business outcomes.
