Summary
Pupil is an educational tech start up that connects underrepresented high school students with mentors from top colleges. As an intern in 2022, I worked on the MVP of the mobile application as well as web components.

In the summer of 2023, I returned to Pupil as a contractor to help out with the design system as well as redesigning the current landing page.

Although there were two designers on the team, I was the primary designer tasked for this project. Despite working on mobile design tasks, my other design teammate provided me with valuable feedback for this project :)

The new landing page development is happening live right now, check back in a few weeks to experience it yourself.
