What if the whole school was designed for learning?
Not just the lesson. Every touchpoint, every person, every space — designed with the same care and rigour you'd bring to a great product experience.
The LX Discipline
UX changed how we design products.
LX is doing the same for learning.
User Experience design transformed the digital world by asking a simple question: what does it actually feel like to use this thing? That question — rigorously applied — produced better products, better services, and better outcomes.
Learner Experience design asks the same question of education. What does it actually feel like to be a student walking into that room? A teacher navigating that system? A parent trying to stay connected? An admin officer buried in paper processes?
Most of those experiences, if anyone bothered to map them, would reveal enormous opportunities hiding in plain sight.

The Full Picture
Every person in a school has a learning experience.
Most experience design in education stops at the student. LXS thinks about the whole environment — because the quality of every role shapes the quality of learning.
Students
From the moment they arrive to the moment they leave — every transition, task, and interaction in between.
"How does a student sign in late without losing five minutes of learning and feeling singled out?"
Teachers
The tools, systems, environments, and rituals that shape how they plan, teach, reflect, and connect.
"What does it take to make a teacher's Monday morning feel set up for success?"
Parents & Caregivers
Their connection to the school — visibility, communication, trust, and a sense of belonging.
"How might a parent feel genuinely informed without being overwhelmed?"
Administration
The processes, friction points, and invisible workload that either supports or drains the community.
"Which parts of enrolment or attendance could be quietly redesigned to free up hours every week?"
Support Staff
Grounds crews, cleaners, aides, technicians — their experience matters, and their work shapes everyone else's.
"How does a groundskeeper know which bins to prioritise without walking the whole campus first?"
The Space Itself
Physical and digital environments as active participants in learning — not neutral backdrops.
"What if something tangible in the room responded to what was happening in the lesson?"
An Example of the Thinking
LX Objects
What if the learning environment could respond to learning?
LX Objects are tangible, physical things connected to the classroom experience — LED matrices, lighting systems, ambient displays, even a bubble machine — that translate digital or social learning moments into something you can see, hear, or feel in the room.
It sounds playful because it is. But it's grounded in a serious idea: the physical environment is a pedagogical tool, and most schools leave it completely inert.
Inspired by the learning environment research of Prof. Stephen Heppell, and the playful learning work of Mitch Resnick and the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT Media Lab.
How LXS Works
A design lab, not a consultancy.
LXS uses the tools of human-centred design — design thinking, journey mapping, the Double Diamond — but the outputs aren't reports. They're prototypes, experiments, and real things tested in real schools.
Some projects stay small: a single friction point, redesigned. A classroom object, built and tested. Others grow into tools or frameworks that can be shared across schools.
The goal is always the same: find the places where learning could feel better, and make them better.
Surface
Map the experience. Find the friction, the joy, and the invisible moments nobody has named yet.
Prototype
Build something small and real. Test it with actual people in actual schools. Learn fast.
Scale
What works gets shared — tools, frameworks, and objects that other schools can pick up and use.
Get in Touch
Got a friction point you'd like to think about?
Whether you're a school leader, a teacher with a nagging problem, or someone who works in education and has always thought "this could be so much better" — I'd love to hear from you.
