Background

Code School was an interactive online learning platform where students would learn to code by doing in the browser. Each course was uniquely (maybe over-the-top) themed to be engaging and seriously fun.

Code School was acquired by Pluralsight in 2015 for $36 million dollars.

Course design

As a course designer, I branded each themed course and illustrated assets that went into the platform UI, challenge assets, slide decks for teaching and marketing. I worked directly with the course teacher to establish compelling visuals for the teaching content and sample projects. This was often fun work and was always a team effort.

Apart from the visuals

While much of my visual work was illustration, I learned from the process of making courses how to prepare designs for app development, iterate on design ideas for the sake of UX, UI, and development, and communicate with cross-functional teams.

Below are some samples of my work on Code School courses:
