Masterji - UI, Visual Design

An Edtech app

Masterji is an edtech mobile application designed to help school students assess their preparation and improve performance through guided testing and personalized insights.I worked as a Visual Designer, leading both the UI design and illustration system, ensuring the product feels engaging, friendly, and motivating for young learners—not just functional.

Challenge

Most test-prep apps feel:

  • Overwhelming and text-heavy

  • Emotionally cold and intimidating

  • Lacking motivation for consistent usage

Students often associate testing with stress, which reduces engagement and retention.

Objective

Make test preparation feel approachable and enjoyable

  • Simplify complex flows into intuitive interactions

  • Build a distinct visual identity through illustrations

  • Create a scalable system for future features

Visual-First UI System

Introduced a robot guide character to humanize the experience

  • Used conversational prompts like “How prepared are you?” instead of rigid instructions

  • Created a sense of journey instead of evaluation

Design Approach – Friendly & Gamified Experience

The UI approach was rooted in making test preparation feel less intimidating and more engaging for students. Instead of a conventional, rigid academic interface, the experience was designed to feel guided, supportive, and interactive.

  • Conversational microcopy (e.g., “How prepared are you?”)

  • Visual cues that reduce cognitive pressure

  • Friendly onboarding to build comfort and trust

Structured Information Hierarchy

Given the content-heavy nature of test preparation, the interface prioritizes clarity and scanability.

  • Card-based layouts to break down complex information

  • Clear segmentation of flows: onboarding → subject selection → test → results

  • Use of progress indicators, timers, and status bars to maintain context

  • Primary actions (CTAs) highlighted consistently at the bottom for thumb reach

  • This ensures users can navigate quickly without feeling overwhelmed.

Illustration Language

Developed a playful and vibrant illustration style designed to make the experience feel approachable, engaging, and emotionally comforting. The visual language focused on capturing relatable student moments, everyday learning scenarios, and light humor to create a stronger emotional connection with the audience.

The illustrations were intentionally crafted to balance simplicity with visual depth by combining soft gradients with clean flat colors, ensuring the compositions remained lively without feeling cluttered or overwhelming. An energetic yet calming palette, helping reduce feelings of stress or anxiety often associated with learning environments. This approach allowed the brand to feel youthful, accessible, and friendly while maintaining clarity and consistency across digital touchpoints.

Journey game

A fun game was designed internally, to show progress journey timeline for each student in very playful and engaging way, making student less anxious about results and more fun.
