ClassDojo
VP of Design · Dojo, the maker of ClassDojo · 2022 to 2026
I was VP of Design at Dojo, the maker of ClassDojo, from 2022 to 2026, and led a design team of 35 across five sub-teams. We rebuilt the ClassDojo app around one home screen for five products, refreshed the characters at the heart of the brand and built an in-house 3D team. We also redesigned Dojo Islands, the company's collaborative game for kids, and designed a family of more than 130 icons.
One home screen for five products
I led the redesign of the ClassDojo app around a single home screen. Dojo had grown from one product to five, built in parallel, and the app had stopped keeping up.
We moved appointments, invitations and class calendars into one tab, and brought important notifications from every product into one swipeable feed.
A new world, new characters and a new brand for Dojo Islands
I led the refresh of Dojo Islands, ClassDojo's collaborative game for kids. Game design was one of my five teams, and we redesigned every part of it: the world, the characters and the brand.
Teaching kids letter shapes and sounds
I led design for Dojo Sparks, which helps kids learn letter shapes and sounds.
One 3D style across every product
I built an in-house 3D team and set one 3D style for every product. We refreshed Mojo and the characters at the heart of the brand, and added Sparky, Nova and Bandit.
More than 130 icons, one family
My team designed a family of more than 130 icons for ClassDojo, Dojo Tutor, Dojo Sparks and Dojo Islands, used in product and in marketing.
A design team of 35, in five sub-teams
I directly led and managed a design team of 35 across five sub-teams.
