About the Product

About the Product

SciQuiry is a K–8 adaptive science learning platform that supports students through interactive practice while giving teachers real-time classroom insights.

As the platform evolved, its website no longer reflected its capabilities. Messaging was broad, structure was unclear, and educators struggled to quickly assess classroom relevance. This gap between product strength and presentation prompted the redesign.

The Clarity Problem

Although SciQuiry offered strong classroom functionality, the website did not clearly support how educators evaluate teaching tools.

Teachers struggled to quickly understand:

  • Who the platform was designed for

  • How it worked in practice

  • What differentiated it

SciQuiry’s experience was restructured around clearer evaluation pathways, stronger product visibility, and earlier transparency.

By introducing role-based navigation and simplifying onboarding, SciQuiry now supports faster, more confident classroom adoption.

Research & Key Insights

Research & Key Insights

Research & Key Insights

To understand where the experience was breaking down, we conducted a focused discovery phase combining audit analysis, user testing, survey and competitor research.

The goal was to identify what prevented educators from confidently evaluating the platform.

To understand where hesitation starts, I explored how people currently find and join social fitness activities. The research combined qualitative insights with broader validation to uncover patterns around uncertainty, confidence, and decision-making.


Rather than focusing on a single method, I used a mix of approaches to capture both how people feel and how common those experiences are.

Audit of the Existing Experience

Audit of the Existing Experience

Audit Findings

Audit Findings

The initial audit of the existing website revealed structural friction points:

  • Messaging did not clearly distinguish between teachers and students

  • Product functionality was not clearly visible

  • Navigation did not support a clear evaluation pathway

  • Pricing and credibility information were missing

What We Heard

What We Heard

User testing reinforced the audit findings:

  • “Is this for students or teachers?”

  • “I can’t see what the product looks like.”

  • The homepage felt too vague to explain value quickly.

  • 79% of educators expressed the need for a dedicated teacher-focused page.

Competitor Patterns

Competitor Patterns

Across competing platforms, three structural patterns were consistent:

  • Clear teacher-focused pathways

  • Product experience shown upfront through screens or demos

  • Transparent pricing and visible credibility signals

SciQuiry lacked these structural evaluation cues.

Research revealed that the challenge was not product capability, but evaluation clarity. Across audit, testing, and competitor analysis, four patterns emerged:

  • Teacher value was not clearly prioritized in the messaging

  • The product experience was not visible early in the journey

  • There was no dedicated pathway for teacher evaluation

  • Pricing transparency and credibility signals were missing

As a result, educators had to work to understand the platform, making evaluation feel effortful rather than intuitive.

Designing for Multiple Audiences

Who Moov is
designed for

A core challenge of the redesign was designing for three distinct audiences at the same time.

SciQuiry needed to feel professional and credible for educators, transparent for parents, and engaging for young learners, without creating confusion about who the platform was truly for.

Features, Pricing, and About were given distinct spaces to reduce ambiguity and support transparent comparison.

This allowed educators to assess value without searching across mixed content.

From Structure to Layout Exploration

With the new structure defined, the focus shifted to translating architectural decisions into clear, intuitive page layouts.

Working collaboratively, we explored multiple layout directions to test hierarchy, content order, and how clearly evaluation information was communicated.

Low- and mid-fidelity wireframes were used to:

  • Test different homepage hierarchies

  • Experiment with how early product visuals should appear

  • Explore variations of the “For Teachers” layout

  • Compare pricing structures for clarity

Rather than refining one concept immediately, we developed multiple approaches and reviewed them together as a team.

Key Iteration Decisions

Through internal reviews and client feedback, we refined:

  • The hero section to clarify audience and value

  • Section order to surface classroom relevance earlier

  • CTA placement to reduce hesitation

  • Content grouping to support structured evaluation

To explore how Moov should work at a structural level, I started with low-fidelity sketches and wireframes. At this stage, I focused on testing key structural decisions such as:


  • Home feed vs search as separate entry points

  • Discovery of clubs, events, and training partners

  • Filtering by sport, level, and preferences

  • Detail pages that surface key information before joining

  • A clear but low-pressure path toward joining or finding a buddy


These wireframes helped define the core structure of the app and highlighted where users might need more clarity before committing.

With structure and layout validated, the final phase focused on refining the visual system and strengthening hierarchy through typography, spacing, and color.

The goal was to balance professionalism for educators with an engaging tone for students, while maintaining clarity and transparency throughout the experience.

Reflections & Next Steps

Reflections & Next Steps

Reflections & Next Steps

This project reinforced the importance of clarity, collaboration, and initiative in client work.

Designing for multiple audiences required disciplined prioritization, while close communication ensured alignment throughout exploration and refinement.

If continued, the next phase would focus on:

  • Clarifying free-trial terms to reduce hesitation

  • Designing a full student onboarding journey

  • Introducing a guided “teacher dashboard tour” post-onboarding

These steps would further strengthen trust, engagement, and long-term adoption.

This project taught me how powerful it is to test early and design for different participation styles. Even low-fidelity prototypes revealed issues with navigation and feedback that I wouldn’t have caught from static screens alone.


Designing inside an existing system like Ticketmaster’s meant borrowing familiar components while still pushing for new behaviour – a balance between respecting constraints and advocating for user needs.
