Lekktura is a solo-built web application designed to streamline core administrative tasks for K–12 teachers in the U.S. It replaces the fragmented experience of juggling separate platforms for grading, attendance, and behavior tracking with a single, cohesive interface. I led the entire lifecycle of this product — from identifying teacher pain points and conducting UX research, to designing and coding the final platform, including front-end, back-end, and deployment.
In many U.S. schools, teachers are forced to use multiple disjointed systems to manage day-to-day student data.
For example:
This fragmentation leads to:
Teachers were looking for a tool that was simple, fast, and all-in-one — without the steep learning curve or high cost of traditional school platforms.
From day one, I set clear, outcome-driven goals:
To ensure the solution aligned with real classroom needs, I conducted both qualitative and competitive research:
My design approach centered on speed, clarity, and cognitive efficiency. Every interaction was stripped down to its essentials to minimize decision fatigue and support high-stakes classroom environments.
I evaluated two directions for daily workflows: split tasks across separate pages or keep grading, attendance, and behavior in one unified workspace. I chose the unified model because teachers switch contexts under time pressure and needed fewer clicks, faster scanning, and less cognitive overhead. The trade-off was less customization in v1, which I accepted to optimize speed of use and adoption.
This section showcases the core interactive states designed to ensure clarity, consistency, and ease of use across the platform.
Comprehensive UI state management demonstrating the complete interaction system. Shows default, hover, active, focus, disabled, and loading states for all interactive elements. Designed to provide immediate visual feedback and reduce cognitive load during high-frequency classroom interactions.
I shipped Lekktura end-to-end so design decisions could be validated in production quickly. The implementation stayed intentionally lightweight and fast to iterate, with weekly improvements driven by teacher feedback on workflow speed, error prevention, and dashboard readability.
The key lesson was prioritization over feature breadth. I deliberately focused v1 on high-frequency teacher workflows and postponed secondary capabilities until core usage patterns were stable. That decision improved adoption speed and kept the product easier to learn under real classroom constraints.
