PROBLEM
Many people want to learn new skills but struggle to stay consistent due to busy schedules, lack of structured guidance, and low motivation. Traditional skill acquisition platforms often overwhelm users with long lessons and lack features that encourage daily engagement, making it hard to build sustainable learning habits.
SOLUTION
I designed Pickup — a mobile skill acquisition platform that helps users learn in small, daily, manageable chunks while staying motivated through habit-forming design. Key design decisions included:
Gamified progress tracking, using streaks, achievements, and motivational quotes to encourage consistency.
Quick onboarding, with personalized time-commitment selection to fit into any schedule.
Clean, minimal UI to reduce distractions and keep the focus on learning.
Multiple sign-in options for frictionless access.
OUTCOME
The final design delivered:
An intuitive onboarding flow that adapts learning schedules to each user’s availability.
Engagement-driven visuals that make progress rewarding and visible.
A lightweight, mobile-first experience that encourages users to keep learning every day.
We expect that the design will increase user motivation and encourage higher daily return rates compared to traditional learning apps.
