Mustaqbalhum App Redesign

“Mustaqbalhum” is an initiative by the Education & Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) in Saudi Arabia, designed to empower parents to track their children’s academic performance, understand strengths and weaknesses, and support their educational journey through continuous assessments.

The primary challenge was to deliver a complete redesign of the existing app within an extremely tight timeframe of less than 5 days for a competition organized by ETEC. Despite the strict deadline, the main goal was to craft a modern, user-friendly experience fully aligned with the Saudi Unified Design System.

A comprehensive UX audit of the existing app revealed several critical usability issues. The information structure was unclear, making it difficult for parents to quickly access their children’s evaluations, while the homepage lacked a meaningful summary of overall academic performance. Additionally, visual inconsistencies across colors, icons, and typography weakened the overall user experience, and key views such as a dedicated child profile for tracking subjects and skills separately were entirely missing.

Within a 5-day timeline, I restructured the app to feature dedicated child profiles, visual performance summaries, and clean filtering, all built in strict alignment with the Saudi Unified Design System. The result was a modern, RTL-friendly experience that simplified tracking progress for parents and was successfully submitted for the ETEC competition.

Old Journey

Redesigned Journey

With under five days, the challenge was deciding what mattered most. I started with a UX audit to find the biggest problems first, such as the unclear structure and the missing child profile, then rebuilt the experience around them.

Working inside the Saudi Unified Design System meant following its existing components and standards instead of inventing new ones, and designing in Arabic RTL showed me how layout, hierarchy, and alignment change when the reading direction flips.
