THE PROJECT

I was tasked with improving the home screen of the app with the following considerations:

It should be clear to first-time users where to begin their learning journey, as this is the core feature.
Returning users should easily be able to pick up where they left off.

MY ROLE

I took full ownership of the project, creating use cases, onboarding flows, and user journeys. Additionally, I developed a new layout and design for the home screen.

THE RESULT

The outcome resulted in a significantly improved UX, with the new approach addressing all user needs. The redesigned home screen layout improved navigation, making it easier for users to find content. The client was thrilled with the new version.
