Modernizing Rubin Aspire User Experience
Transforming career exploration for 16,000+ students
Rubin Aspire connects students with real professionals through short-form career interviews, helping them explore career pathways, understand workplace expectations, and discover future opportunities. The platform gives educators a scalable way to integrate career exploration into academic and CTE classrooms.
The Challenge
Aspire had valuable career content, but the experience functioned largely as a collection of videos and supporting materials. As the platform expanded, it needed a more intuitive structure, modernized resources, and a cohesive experience for both learners and educators.
My Role
I led the UX and learning experience transformation of Aspire, designing the experience across student and teacher workflows and helping move the product from a static career library toward a connected, interactive career exploration platform.

What I Designed
-
Designed the learner experience across career exploration, pathways, activities, resources, and navigation
-
Designed the educator experience, creating screens and workflows that make instructional content and resources easier to access and implement
-
Modernized Aspire's learning resources, improving their visual design, usability, consistency, and instructional value
-
Restructured the career pathway architecture to make discovering and navigating careers more intuitive
-
Created responsive HTML prototypes to demonstrate interactions and provide development-ready direction
-
Established reusable design systems, page patterns, and components for a more consistent product experience
-
Integrated workplace skills, career information, and labor-market insights into the exploration experience
-
Translated educational research, workforce information, and product requirements into scalable UX solutions
-
Collaborated with leadership and development to move designs from concept → prototype → live product
The Impact
Aspire is now a more cohesive career exploration experience designed around the needs of both students and teachers. Students can move through career content with greater context and purpose, while educators have modern, consistent resources that make career exploration easier to incorporate into instruction.

Devopling Rubin Spark AI Platform Design
Designing AI-powered learning experiences that transform workplace skill development through purposeful practice.
Rubin Spark is an interactive AI simulation platform that helps learners build confidence through realistic workplace conversations and performance-based practice. Rather than passively consuming content, students engage in authentic scenarios, receive meaningful feedback, and develop the communication skills needed for real-world success.
My work spans learning experience design, UX, product strategy, and interactive HTML prototyping. I design responsive user interfaces, reusable component libraries, and scalable design systems that create a consistent learner experience across the platform. Working closely with product and development teams, I translate educational research and instructional goals into production-ready experiences that support AI-driven simulations, learner reflection, and continuous product evolution.
Core Deliverables & Input
• Integrating Career Cluster Frameworks• Workforce Readiness Skill Standardization • Interactive Simulation Architecture • Strategic Learner Path Mapping • AI Workflow & Prompt Engineering Development • Prototyping CTSO Competition Frameworks • Market Positioning & Launch Strategy • Global Scaling & Expansion Infrastructure • Creative Direction for Multimedia Assets • Orchestrating Cross-Functional Team Synergy
Professional Impact
My primary achievement within this initiative has been engineering digital environments that transition from passive consumption to active skill mastery. By merging advanced AI, human-centric design, and career-ready directives, Spark offers a transformative space where learners engage in deliberate practice. This methodology ensures they don't just absorb content but build the actual resilience and expertise needed to thrive in high-level professional roles.
