Superpowers

Career Highways categorized skills into “superpowers,” but the sheer number made selection overwhelming. The challenge was to break these down into meaningful, easy-to-navigate categories.

Visualization of Jobs

Representing 1000s of job opportunities with limited space was a major challenge. Finding the right balance between visual clarity and information density.

CHALLENGES

Started with sketches and simple mockups

Making changes

Adding a career involved multiple steps
