Pearl

An ecosystem of products that turns tutoring data into insight.

At Pearl I researched, strategized, designed, and launched three interconnected products for tutors and program admins, plus an R&D proof of concept for an AI insights layer (Pearl AI) that did not ship to production.

Four pillars

01

Akoya Design System

Built a full design system with deep Figma tokens and variables that matched the Tailwind codebase one-to-one. That let engineering move a lot faster.

02

Mobile App (iOS & Android)

Designed the instructor companion app for attendance, surveys, and audio capture. Used accessible patterns and small quality-of-life fixes for staff of all abilities.

03

Survey Builder & Scheduler

Authoring and scheduling tools that let admins start from research-backed templates or build their own from scratch.

04

Pearl AI (R&D)

An internal proof of concept exploring story-style insights for admins. It turned attendance and survey data into plain-language reporting. Scoped as research and prototyping; never shipped to production.
