Doorway to world-class education

Doorway to world-class education

Designed to streamline the boarding school application journey, Round empowers students and families with the autonomy to discover their dream education, plus the 'insider' knowledge to make the right decisions. Within Round, families can effortlessly evaluate 300+ top-tier boarding schools, complete every application requirement, and connect with experienced educational consultants on demand. Grateful to have collaborated with Caban and Ooruk at Roel Education, alongside my inspiring friend Gilberto from BlackPrint, to lay the groundwork for a world-class platform driving the next era of global education.

Creating a design system that feels personable and dependable is the key to bridging the gap between Roel Education's in-person consulting services with its digital counterpart. I frequently leveraged Weave, Jitter, and other AI-powered tools to capture the animated touch of the interface.
