INTRODUCTION

Lumia is a national platform built for teacher connection, collaboration, and growth. I led end-to-end product design (from UX flows and UI systems to interaction design and UX writing), turning early concepts and user research into a mobile-first platform rooted in real needs.

Teachers face a patchwork of tools, but few support real collaboration or peer connection. The challenge: design a space where teachers could grow, support one another, and share what truly works in the classroom.

Guided by teacher insights, I:

Designed mobile-first screens in Figma
Built a reusable UI system for scalability
Structured architecture around teacher mental models
Wrote UX copy to reinforce brand voice and reduce friction

Accessibility, clarity, and trust guided every decision. Iteration with stakeholders and testing across devices shaped the final experience.
