A few months ago, I started working on a school management product in Kuwait — from zero.

The challenge was huge: everything was on paper. Teachers, students, and parents were used to manual workflows. No specs, no clear direction — just an idea.

Over 6 months, we worked closely with the client, teachers, students, and even parents to understand the real problems and design a system that actually works.

The result? A product with 3 main dashboards, over 200 unique screens, designed for students, teachers, parents, and school admins. A system that’s practical, scalable, and truly adopted by real users.

The hardest part wasn’t the design itself — it was earning the trust of teachers, making them leave their old, familiar paper processes and embrace a digital workflow.
