Kids First Australia
UX/UI product design
I worked with Kids First Australia to transform their face-to-face consent education program into a digital learning experience. My goal was to help schools and teachers deliver this important content more easily and extend its reach to young people across Australia.
Insights

I explored what mattered most to students in learning about consent and how schools preferred it delivered, through interviews with educators and workshops with over 30 Year 8 students across Victoria.

Reusable components to deliver learning content
We used the same chat bubble components throughout the platform to deliver learning content and unique perspectives based on the role for a holistic and engaging learning experience.

The handoff process with Kids First Australia was to ensure thorough documentation of the key components used that were crucial to the experience. This allows them to easily update and expand the platform in the future while maintaining a cohesive experience.
A key part of the experience was ensuring the page layout followed a structured design, aligning with the platform’s components and learning design principles for consistency.
