Four years with Max, and we're still not sure who's really running his desk: Max or the calico. He brings sharp thinking, a flair for a great vest, and a keyboard that's frequently "reviewed" by his feline supervisor. Happy 4 year #Workiversary ! Thank you for everything you bring to the team. #HappyWorkplace #WorkLifeBalance

📚 Designing for early literacy: We partnered with Chapter One to reimagine their 1:1 reading support app used in K-2 classrooms across the US, Canada, and UK. The challenge? Create an interface that keeps young learners engaged while giving instructors the tools they need to boost reading proficiency and comprehension. Our approach: *Kid-friendly visuals inspired by school supplies—creamy book pages, file folder tabs, and playful blocky shadows *Streamlined workflows that match session activities and adapt as students progress *Smart classroom management that sorts students by goals, reading stage, and attendance *Clear assessment tools with plain language guidance The result: An accessible, engaging app that helps instructors make the most of every reading session and meet students exactly where they are.
