Project Overview

Future Fit is a digital guidance platform designed to help students seamlessly explore career opportunities after their secondary education. The project originated as a response to the growing confusion and pressure among students making career choices.

I took charge of understanding user pain points, mapping out user journeys, and designing an intuitive solution that empowers students to make informed decisions about their futures.

Challenge

How can I help students after secondary education confidently explore and choose the right career path with clarity and support?

THE HIGH-LEVEL GOALS THAT DEFINED MY DESIGN

  • Make career guidance accessible, intuitive, and personalized

Research

Understanding the problem
