The new Duolingo learning path

PROBLEM

Users were confused about the “correct” or “best” way to use Duolingo and felt choice paralysis about the many options

SOLUTION

Provide a guided path that makes it super clear which lesson the user should do next

MY ROLE

Content designer

WHAT I DID

  • Wrote all UX content and defined content guidelines

  • Designed onboarding flows and wrote onboarding content and launch comms

  • Worked with:

    • UX researcher to conduct research, synthesize, and socialize insights

    • Product designer to refine information architecture and UX flows

    • C-level leadership to align on overall strategy

OUTCOMES

  • The redesign shipped with positive retention, +3.7% bookings ($16k/day), and +18% IAPs ($8k/day)

  • The talking points and blog post I wrote and video I scripted were used in extremely positive press coverage of the redesign by industry outlets (it was the largest redesign in 3 years)
