Sketchy
Sketchy is a visual learning platform that turns complex subjects into engaging visual stories that students will remember forever.
ROLE
UI/UX Designer & Researcher Intern
Role Overview
Collaborated with a team of designers on a community-based learning feature for Sketchy's MCAT curriculum. I conducted user interviews, affinity mapping, designed the overall visual layout, interaction, and interface of the mobile-web and desktop experiences in compliance with existing Design Systems. I made reusable components and high-fidelity multi-stage user flows in Figma with short iterations, which became a template used by the team for final prototyping.
TOOLS
Figma, Figjam, Miro, Zoom
Project Goal
Sketchy has been wanting to explore adding more community-based elements within the product to connect students together. One aspect of this is to add a way to collaborate on lessons through notes and ideas to help them feel more connected and improve their learning model.
The Task
Design an experience where students can collaborate on a lesson and share ideas.
We approached the solution as if it is the students' first time using Sketchy and are not very familiar with the symbols.
