CompTIA · Learning platform
An editorial answer
to a technical
category.
CompTIA is a large-scale learning platform transformation, rescued mid-flight and rebuilt around an editorial direction that broke from every convention in IT certification. The CEO had a clear vision that challenged the direction of the previous design team. We were brought in to decipher that vision, translate it into a cohesive experience, and bring it to life.
The challenge
A stalled transformation, and a vision that only existed on a whiteboard.
We joined as a development partner. As the design problems surfaced, I embedded with CompTIA’s team — then we took over the design work entirely.
01 · Interpreting the vision
Turning sketches into a direction the whole team could build against.
The CEO had a clear instinct for what the experience should feel like. Our job was to make it concrete, defensible and buildable.
02 · Structure
Editorial rhythm, applied to a learning product.
Pacing and hierarchy explored in grayscale — long-form modules, pathway browsing, and the certification detail view.
Impact
What began as development support grew into strategy, experience, design delivery and cross-functional alignment across the initiative.
