During a design sprint, I was a product designer for an education discovery platform, with the goal of helping students explore and compare universities abroad. I joined on day 4 of a 5-day ideation design sprint, helping the team finish storyboarding and prototype their concept in about 4 hours.
The design addressed the challenge of making study options more transparent by offering an interactive map-based search, personalized university profiles with tuition and living cost breakdowns, and decision-support tools like cost comparisons and financial aid guidance. The flow guided users from selecting study preferences to exploring locations and making informed decisions based on clear financial insights, simplifying the complexity of choosing the right university.
