01Overview

CodeQuest is a gamified education website that makes learning programming languages fun — with courses, tournaments and a blog. I led the project from branding and user flows to the design system, final UI and the admin side.

The challenge › Make learning to code feel like play, not a classroom — while staying easy to navigate.

02Breaking it down

Before designing anything, the problem was split into its parts:

  1. I

    Brand — a bright, playful identity and characters

  2. II

    Learning — courses and progress

  3. III

    Play — tournaments and challenges

  4. IV

    Admin — managing courses, users and content

03Start to end

  1. I · Brand

    Created the brand direction: bold colour, gaming energy and friendly characters.

  2. II · User flows

    Mapped flows for learners and for the admin side.

  3. III · Design system & UI

    Built the design system and designed the website screens.

  4. IV · Prototype & QA

    Prototyped and checked the build against the designs.
