Maths—No Problem!
OVERVIEW
While at Maths — No Problem! (MNP) I collaborated with cross-functional teams to help launch one of the company’s most anticipated products: Insights. As the design lead, I spearheaded the creation and implementation of a unified design system, introduced new design processes, and fostered strong cross-brand collaboration to ensure a cohesive and scalable product experience.

Task
Design a tool that helps educators spend less time on systems and more time supporting students. The focus was on user needs, simple workflows, and clear functionality.
I mapped key roles—admins, teachers, and support staff—to design tailored, intuitive journeys. Working with users and experts helped uncover pain points and shape a faster, easier experience.
Key Goals:
Simplify role and class management
Make marking quick and consistent
Turn data into clear, actionable insights
Reduce support through better usability
Ensure speed, accessibility, and a unified design
Prioritize desktop, with responsive scaling
Crafting tools that do the heavy lifting.
Actions
Simplified Bulk Upload for Admins
Designed a step-by-step upload flow to help admins quickly import classes and students. Clear error messages and a consistent design system made the process smoother and more reliable.
Optimized Marking for Educators
Created a faster, more intuitive marking flow based on real educator needs. Added clear next steps and hotkeys to reduce ambiguity and save time in repetitive tasks.

Identified new user needs and success metrics
Collaborated with experts to ensure content accuracy
Built a scalable content structure and tested wireframes with schools
Iterated based on user feedback and usability testing
Partnered with developers to implement and QA the final design
Launched both products with feedback loops for ongoing improvement
