Case Study:

Cadet Portfolio

Redefining education for 350,000 cadets.

Collaborating with EdTech innovator and Cadet Portfolio founder Brian Srikanchana, I developed the brand identity and designed the user interface for Cadet Portfolio. Adopted by the US Army in 2020, the tool is used by every jrotc cadet and instructor across the nation.

My Role:

Educational Technologist

I designed technology-based solutions to enhance education for students, teachers, and Army leadership, helping secure an Army contract for Cadet Portfolio.

I designed a comprehensive eLearning platform uniquely suited to the Army jrotc program. Cadets can access their assignments, while interactive reports provide instructors and Army leadership critical insights.

I collaborated closely with developers and product managers to create an intuitive user experience for cadets and instructors. I designed wireframes and prototypes and iteratively tested designs to ensure they met strict government expectations and deadlines.

Brand Strategist

This role involved analyzing trends, military user behaviors, and competitive landscapes to develop a clear brand identity, which cultivated strong connections with the brand and the platform's users.
