OpenStudy is an educational social network that connects students from around the world so they can get help and give help, on subjects ranging from Algebra to Biology to Physics. With over 2.3 million unique visitors on their website OpenStudy needed to create a mobile app that would allow their users to continue interacting from any location. Initially starting with an iPhone app, the UX needed to be intuitive and familiar to longtime OpenStudy users. One major challenge, was adapting the extremely rich feature set for a mobile experience. I worked closely with the client to refine the application down to its core elements allowing us to create a focused experience that can grow and change in future iterations.

The User Interface Design went through different iterations to nail down a direction that maintains consistency with their websites design while still moving their brand identity forward with an updated, distinctive look. While the UI needed to be bright and fun it also had to facilitate a clarity and ease of use throughout the app.
