Project Overview
Luminari is a digital platform designed to help lifelong learners build customized interdisciplinary learning paths. This was a UX/UI passion project where I led the research, strategy, branding, and interface design to develop a platform that empowers users to track progress, stay motivated, and explore topics across disciplines.
The Challenge
Many learners struggle with organizing self-directed learning across multiple topics, maintaining momentum, and finding tools that support both structure and flexibility. The goal was to create a centralized, intuitive experience that simplified goal setting, resource collection, and personalized learning journeys—all without overwhelming the user.
What I Created
ResearchConducted a competitive analysis of learning platforms, a survey with 29 participants, and user interviews to uncover common pain points, learning preferences, and motivation barriers for lifelong learners. Persona & User Journey Synthesized findings into an actionable learner persona and mapped a full user journey focused on clarity, progress, and flexibility. Business Strategy Framed the product vision around increasing retention and engagement for self-directed learners by integrating progress tracking, habit reinforcement, and resource centralization. Features Developed personalized learning paths, an intuitive dashboard, and progress tracking tools to support self-directed learners. Key features include interactive content, gamification, motivational notifications, flexible scheduling, note-taking, AI insights, and community support. Marketing & Branding Created a vibrant, encouraging brand identity to reflect the platform’s mission—supporting learners through clarity, choice, and motivation. Wireframes Designed wireframes with a clean, modular structure that emphasized simplicity, visual hierarchy, and ease of use. Final Screens Delivered polished UI designs that showcase intuitive layouts, consistent design systems, and user flows optimized for habit-driven, interdisciplinary learning.
Results & Impact
Designed an intuitive, engaging interface that resonated with learners seeking structure and flexibility. Created a scalable design system ready for development and future expansion. Translated user insights into actionable, thoughtful solutions that improved clarity and motivation
Final Thoughts
Luminari brought together my passion for design, problem-solving, and learning. This project not only challenged me to think deeply about user behavior, but also allowed me to craft an experience that reflects how thoughtful design can empower personal growth.
