OVERVIEW
Full product design and MVP development for an AI-powered tutoring app targeting K-12 students. Included gamification system and parent dashboard.
THE PROBLEM
Lumio Learning had strong pedagogical content and a compelling product vision, but their MVP had been built by engineers without design involvement. The interface was functional for adults who understood the underlying learning model but entirely inappropriate for the K-12 students it was built to serve. Engagement data showed that most students abandoned sessions within the first eight minutes.
THE SOLUTION
We redesigned the product from a student-first perspective, conducting usability testing with children across three age groups — 7-9, 10-12, and 13-16 — to ensure the interface worked intuitively at each developmental stage. A gamification system was built around genuine learning milestones rather than arbitrary point accumulation, and the parent dashboard was redesigned to surface meaningful progress data rather than session statistics. The AI tutor interaction was redesigned to feel conversational and encouraging rather than transactional.
