01

Engaging learning experience

Play. Learn. Belong.

I designed a gamified learning experience that introduces the Lithuanian language to foreign children in a fun and intuitive way. The app combines interactive exercises, visual storytelling and a gradual difficulty progression to keep children motivated and engaged.

Key outcomes

  • Multiple learning modes: listen, match, speak and type
  • Gradual difficulty progression
  • Visual, child-friendly design
  • Rewards, achievements and level system

Characters & story

Rooted in culture.

I created a unique concept where children can choose a Lithuanian mythological character to guide them through their learning journey. Each character has a story, visual style and themed content, helping to build a stronger emotional connection with the language and culture.

Key outcomes

  • Multiple characters with unique personalities
  • Story-driven progression
  • Culturally inspired visual design
  • Consistent illustration style

From concept to prototype

Designed and prototyped
end-to-end.

Over 6 months I conducted user research, defined core flows, designed the visual identity and created a high-fidelity interactive prototype for both learning and progress tracking. The project was later adapted for mobile, with a focus on simple navigation and engaging interactions for children.

Key outcomes

  • User research and concept development
  • Full UX/UI design and interactive prototype
  • Learning flows, gamification and progress tracking
  • Adapted for mobile on iOS and Android
