GYMBOREE

Print Design

In the Spring of 2019 HOMER Learning partnered with the GYMBOREE Play and Music and created a pilot program to be tested by their preschool teachers in several of their centers in America.

The pilot program consisted of 2 thematic sets of daily lessons, covering 12 weeks each. I was tasked with designing the booklets and supporting materials to be used by the teachers with minimal training. I used color tabs and headlines to help organize each complex 90 to 100 pages document. Large margins were intended for note taking. After I designed and templatized the first booklets, I hired and managed an illustrator, as well as a designer to layout the second booklets and all additional colaterals.

The pilot program was done under tight deadlines and with a strict budget. It required close collaboration with the Curriculum writers, our Head of partnership, our product manager and myself. It was a success, and contributed to a 6 million dollars investment from GPM’s partners into our company.
