Overview

A completely new digital experience for 5,000+ students and staffs across multiple campuses.

Harambee University's legacy student portal was built a couple of years ago. It worked, but it was slow, hard to navigate on mobile, and caused thousands of support tickets every registration period.

My role was to lead a complete UX teardown and redesign. We standardized all components into a scalable design system, unified the web and mobile experience, and cut the time it takes a student to register for classes by 70%.

The Challenge.

01
Fragmented Systems
Students had to use three different interfaces for grades, registration, and payments.
02
Mobile Hostile
85% of traffic was mobile, but the UI was completely unoptimized for smaller screens.
03
Zero Consistency
Inconsistent UI patterns led to high cognitive load and frustration.
