01 · Problem
The brief, in one breath
Teachers were translating their gradebooks into emails, PDFs, and parent meetings. The data existed; the narrative did not.
02 · Research
Listening before drawing
Workshops with eight schools, a curriculum mapping exercise across four standards frameworks, and parent interviews on what they actually open.
03 · User insights
What we heard, distilled.
- 01Parents read the first sentence; design for that.
- 02Teachers need bulk gestures, not heroic dashboards.
- 03Growth, not scores, is the unit of communication.
04 · Design system
Systems first, screens second
A reading-first layout, a softened chart language, and a teacher tooling surface that prioritises bulk actions and quick capture.
