Overview of General Assembly UI

As a frontend engineer, I developed MyGA, General Assembly's comprehensive student portal that enabled users to access coursework, complete assessments, and track achievements.

The student portal featured diverse interactive learning modules including code assessments, multiple-choice questions, ordering quizzes, videos and word matching exercises. Thousands of employees from startups to Fortune 500s used the online learning platform to upskill their teams.

Whilst building out MyGA, we found that we lacked some consistency in our design approach and branding. Working closely with the design team, I built Cog, a component library that created a consistent brand and direction for the look and feel of our software.

This design system was adopted across many of General Assembly’s stack, establishing cohesive visual identity and improving development efficiency.
