Genius Plaza uses technology to provide quality education around the globe.

Their mission is to create a platform that helps provide students, parents, and teachers with the tools to create the best possible learning experience, especially for those in underserved communities.

I served as part of their visual design team in order to help advertise the company's mission and create visuals for learning materials.

One of Genius Plaza's goals is to help children learn through creating experiences themself. On the website, students have the opportunity to create e-books with visuals from a bank of pre-made illustrations.
