The inspiration for this project comes from my seven-year-old daughter, and it’s a project I hope will never truly end. When I realized I could create something practical and usable, I didn’t even have to think about what I wanted to build—or who I wanted to build it for. I knew immediately what I had to do: create a simple, easy-to-use learning platform for my little princess.
Free of ads and payments, this app gives her a safe space to learn something new every day. She can practice math, reading, and drawing at her own pace, while I continue adding features and updating the learning materials as she grows. My goal is to give her—and eventually other children—the chance to enjoy learning in a fun, engaging way that adapts with them over time.
Here are some shots of the different sections of this webpage. I created the images and example content with AI.
This was my first real experience with user testing. Before this project, I mostly shared my designs with friends and family, letting them click through my high-fidelity Figma prototypes. It was helpful, but it never felt the same—especially since they knew those projects were fictional and not being built for anyone in particular.
Getting actual feedback on a product that people could truly use was an entirely different experience. There’s nothing quite like seeing a design come to life as a minimum viable product with a real purpose. And for me, that purpose couldn’t have been more meaningful—it was for my daughter. Honestly, I don’t think I would have ever pushed myself this far if not for her.
This project opened my eyes to how rewarding it is to create something useful. I’m already working on my next learning platform using Firebase Studio, and like this one, it will be completely free to use. If you’d like, you can share it with your own children, too.
I never want to make a dime from creating platforms for kids. They deserve to learn in spaces free from ads, distractions, and payments. My only goal with this project was to try something new, to make something that matters, and to give children—including my own—the chance to learn with joy.
