Conducted focus groups with university students and assembled click-by-click prototypes for Michigan Online, the University of Michigan’s online learning experience catalog. As of January 2025, the platform contains over 300 learning experiences and more than 200,000 people have created accounts.

Ran usability tests with 10 Michigan Online learners from 8 different countries to determine the optimal layout of the course detail page and preferred information hierarchy for course metadata.

Explored numerous interaction options with creativity and curiosity to resolve a complex Michigan Online UX challenge: most courses are available on multiple platforms (Coursera, edX, or Future Learn). The course detail page needed to communicate these options and the differences between them in a compact but complete way before ultimately directing the user to their desired platform. The final solution was a modal that displayed the options and outbound links, as well as a separate page that explained key platform differences.
