Context

Quark is a gamified platform focused on developing soft skills in young people. Its experience combines skills mapping, content tracks and certifications, using microlearning, quizzes, videos and gamified challenges.

  • 50k+ students
  • 80k+ certificates
  • 160k+ hours of content
  • 100+ cities

My role

When I joined the project, the platform was already established. My work didn't start by discovering a problem from scratch, but by continuously evolving experiences that were already part of the product.

I worked mainly on evolving the student experience, across different moments of the journey:

  • Content tracks
  • Quizzes
  • New content formats
  • Visual elements: mascot, medals, trophies and badges
Screens of the Entrepreneurship track and Quark's track list

Content tracks

Tracks are a central part of the Quark journey: that's where students access content aimed at developing different skills.

One of the key concerns was making the journey visually easy to follow

Where am I? → What do I need to do? → What have I finished? → What comes next?

Visual elements

Not every product improvement happens on a whole screen. During the project, I also designed elements such as:

Medals · Trophies · Badges · Certificates

These elements did more than look good: they marked moments of achievement, completion and progress within the experience.

Quark was my first job and my first time doing Product Design on an established digital product.

It's where I learned, in practice, that designing also means evolving what already exists.
