FreshForm an experience design and innovation agency, redesigns the online classrooms for Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth using Adobe XD

FreshForm, a San Diego–based experience design and innovation agency, partnered with Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) to modernize CTY’s learning management system for more than 14,000 online K–12 students worldwide. The brief called for a flexible, accessible, and visually engaging virtual classroom that met strict accessibility standards, supported many stakeholder groups, and stayed on a tight development timeline.

FreshForm used an atomic design approach and Adobe XD as a single collaborative source to prototype, gather consolidated stakeholder and student feedback, and integrate assets from Adobe Creative Cloud. The team delivered a responsive, accessible LMS with clear design specs and a living style guide that streamlined development and QA, produced high‑quality visuals, and positioned CTY to scale and adapt the classroom experience for years to come.
