Customizing study path
This project was an experimental exploration aimed at leveraging AI to tackle a real-world challenge: helping graduating students and career changers identify their strengths, set clear learning goals, and build personalized study plans.
Unlike a purely commercial product, the focus was on testing ideas and understanding how AI could enhance the user experience in the education and career development space.

Challenge
As the solo designer, I led the end-to-end design process, from shaping the product vision to delivering the final UI and brand identity.
Key challenges included clarifying AI concepts through visual storytelling, defining user goals through research-based learning journeys, and building an AI-driven identity that felt modern, trustworthy, and approachable.
Design Process
The design process focused on turning an abstract AI concept into a clear product structure. I used information architecture, user flows, and prototyping to clarify how users would move from self-understanding to goal setting and then into a practical study plan.
Solution
A key part of the approach was understanding the user's current situation through a scientific personal ability assessment. Instead of relying on subjective self-judgment, the assessment was built on established psychological and management models. By answering carefully designed questions based on these theories, users receive a data-driven diagnosis of their skills, strengths, and growth areas, creating a stronger foundation for personalized learning recommendations.
Once the user’s abilities are understood, the product helps them create a clear, actionable learning plan through three steps:Goal Alignment – Identify the right learning direction based on personal ambitions and career goals.Skill Mapping & Breakdown – Define what to learn by mapping required skills and breaking them into manageable parts.Personalized Plan – Design a step-by-step plan that covers how and when to learn, tailored to the user’s pace and lifestyle.This structured approach turns vague aspirations into a practical roadmap for growth and career transformation.
AI-Powered Learning Assistance To help users stay motivated and on track, the product offers AI-driven support throughout their learning journey: Smart recommendations for resources and next steps based on progress.Real-time feedback to guide users and keep them improving. Motivation and accountability through reminders, insights, and personalized encouragement. With AI as a supportive companion, users can learn more effectively and consistently, making steady progress toward their goals.
