ClassDojo

Systems design, Interaction design, Visual design

Product and systems design for influential K-8 education app used by millions across the world.

Reaching over 180 countries and accessed by millions daily, Classdojo is presently one of the most influential educational technologies in the world. Through a network of tools centered around creativity, communication, and social-emotional learning, Classdojo plays a fundamental role in developing the world’s next generation.

The design team contacted me to help rethink system mechanics before their app’s annual surge of “back-to-school” traffic. What was once a tool solely for teachers, Classsdojo had since expanded into a platform for students, parents and school leaders. Acknowledging funnel data, Classdojo’s brief concluded: poor user onboarding was handicapping growth.

The executions respond to constraints like child online privacy compliance, multi-lingual audiences, and varied ranges of user technological savvyness. The designs aim to promote a sense of community and interaction between parents, teachers, and students.

What was initially scoped as a three week jam turned into a five month collaboration. My work touched mechanics, flows, and views across ClassDojo’s entire suite of apps; from iOS, to android, to web.
