OptiLingo

Optilingo is a language learning platform prioritizes high-frequency phrases, supports endangered languages, and ensures a stress-free user experience.

As Co-Founder and Design Lead at SITEX Private Limited, I designed this MVP for OptiLingo with Jonty Yamisha, CEO & Founder. This case study outlines the design process, challenges, and solutions implemented.

The designs showcased in this portfolio are my past work. Some live websites/apps may have been updated with new designs by clients, which were not designed by me.
