Product Designer | BA Learn | 2024
Learning Platform · Design System
This project focused on designing the user experience and design system for Bioacoustics Learn, a learning platform curating technical resources for marine and terrestrial bioacousticians. The challenge was helping researchers navigate complex software tools and datasets while learning new analysis workflows. The resulting platform introduced structured learning paths, responsive layouts, and a token-based design system to support accessibility and long-term scalability.
