Our youngest users, ages 6–8, were using a college-level interface. I redesigned it to match their cognitive, comprehension, and ergonomic needs—brightening colors, simplifying workflows, making icons and affordances clearer, increasing font size, personalizing content, adding gamified elements, and introducing a friendly mascot, Hooty, to guide them.

In order to meet students where they are, we created a desktop-to-tablet responsive site. Responsive design was new to Nat Geo Learning, so this required a fully , which we backed up with quantitative and qualitative data to justify the cost to the company.

National Geographic rocked the print game, but needed some guidance on how to transition from a primarily print-first organization to a digital-first one. I collaborated with my Creative Director and our print team, as well as with other departments across the company (product, engineering, marketing, sales, etc), to create and integrate improved processes for implementation of digital solutions and streamlined design team workflow. This included creation of workflow documentation, design debt logs, design JIRA streamlining and management, testing optimization logs, retrospective platforms, and more.
