Architecture Learning Portal — Career Paths & Training for Enterprise Architects
Designing a training and career development portal for the architecture community — enabling architects to discover relevant courses, build personalized learning paths, and track progress toward their career goals.
A learning portal built around how architects actually think
A large organization's architecture community needed a portal where architects could discover training, build personalized career paths, and track their development. The challenge was designing a system that made a large course catalog navigable, not overwhelming, for users with a technical mindset and specific career goals.
UX/UI Designer, working initially with my manager and completing the project independently in close collaboration with the architecture team.
- Designing the full information architecture and navigation — training catalog, learning paths, course detail, and personal path tracking
- Creating a filter system by architect role, level, type, and region to make the catalog navigable without search
- Adapting corporate design system components where existing elements didn't yet cover the portal's needs
- Delivering full HTML/CSS specifications to the development team
The "My Path" view — courses organized by level (Foundational, Intermediate, Advanced) with completion tracking, allowing architects to follow a structured progression toward their target role.
With ~60 courses across multiple dimensions — role, level, type, region — faceted filtering gave architects precise control without requiring them to know what to search for
Borrowing a familiar card pattern from video platforms gave each course immediate visual scanability — title, provider, duration, format, and rating at a glance — reducing cognitive load in a dense catalog
Structured paths for each architect role (Chief, Enterprise, Data, Application, etc.) gave users a clear progression model — not just a catalog, but a career roadmap
The learning path view for a specific architect role — recommended steps organized across foundational, intermediate, and advanced levels, with a visual framework reference.
Delivered solo. Feedback strong enough to lead to the next project.
The portal was delivered with full design specs and HTML/CSS documentation for the development team. The architecture community's feedback was strongly positive — and I was invited back to lead the subsequent project for the same team, which is the strongest signal a designer can get in an enterprise context.
