HMH Coaching Studio
The first step was to understand the needs of the user. What are they trying to accomplish? What workflow do they need to complete? Once we understood the user’s needs well, we began to design the interface. We wanted to create an interface that was easy to use and intuitive. We also wanted to ensure that the information was easy to find and that the user could perform all the necessary actions without getting lost. Once we finished the prototype, we tested it with users to ensure it met their needs. Currently, this web application is in development and will be released to the public sometime next year.

HMH Design Systems Integration for Corporate Website
Creating a well-designed website takes a lot of hard work and planning. Our role within this project was to help a print-centric team transition into a group of talented user experience designers. Overseeing the design system integration includes ensuring that the colors and fonts are consistent across all pages and that the navigation is easy to use. It also involves more technical aspects, such as ensuring the website loads quickly and smoothly on all devices.
Although a complex task, the process of this digital transformation has allowed us to work cross-functionally across product marketing, design, and information technology, with the common goal of creating a site that is easy to use and navigate with accessibility in mind. By streamlining the user experience, we hope to provide our customers with a better online experience that is both informative and easy to use. Ultimately, our goal was to help create a website that met the needs of users while also reflecting the brand of the company.

HMH Teacher Success Pathways on Ed
The teacher success pathways are tailored and timed to teachers’ needs and schedules to make teaching with new programs more manageable and rewarding. We were part of a large team of more than 30 people, including Instructional Designers, Researchers, and fellow UX Designers. Our role was to create the thumbnails that lead the user into each pathway, where teachers can join and watch sessions on demand, access shared materials, and download certificates right from HMH’s teaching platform. In addition, we worked with practicing HMH teachers to design our new pathways to save teachers time. With resources like scaffolded lesson plans for their first two weeks, teachers will now have the right tools at their fingertips to make planning achievable from day one.
