Rook Lift Chess Academy

Case Study — Coming Soon

Overview

Rook Lift Chess Academy is a digital platform concept for an inclusive, modern chess school. This case study explores how an accessible interface and unified brand identity were developed to support both online and in-person learning.

The project spanned 10 weeks — from an empty Figma file to a fully realized high-fidelity prototype complete with responsive layouts, motion design, and a living style guide.

My Role

I served as Prototype & Style Guide Lead, responsible for creating a cohesive visual system and defining scalable design tokens. My focus was on component consistency, layout responsiveness, and collaboration between UI and interaction designers.

I also oversaw the prototype architecture — building clickable user journeys and testing accessibility with early users to refine flow clarity and engagement.

Coming Soon

The full case study will include: • UX flow diagrams • Design rationale and iteration process • Usability testing insights • Annotated component library

Expected publication: Winter 2025.

The Rook Lift Chess Academy case study is currently in progress.
Check back soon for a deep dive into the design process.
