Collaborative Classroom
Administrative platform for teachers and district admins. Suite of products.

Hi there, I'm Stefanie Kraus, a UX Design Consultant living in beautiful Oregon. I believe that good product design starts with empathy and curiosity. Putting myself in the shoes of an end-user while understanding the business purpose and history of a product paves the way to meaningful design.

"She approaches complex problems with a comprehensive, thoughtful mindset, always keeping users at the center of the design, and consistently delivers solutions that are both intuitive and buildable. Stefanie’s ability to quickly grasp new content and distill user and business needs into actionable designs has been invaluable. Even when project goals are unclear or shifting, she remains adaptable and proactive, offering insights that improve both the product and the process. I have complete trust in her decision-making and would work with her again in a minute."- Tim Millen, CTO, Collaborative Classroom
"While at Collaborative Classroom, Stefanie was a key player in the conceptualization, design, and rollout of an AI initiative. She offered guidance to both staff and end users on how to think and integrate this new technology in their work. She also spearheaded and led a user research initiative, which resulted in key insights on how to improve several of CC's products."- Melissa Cheung, Director or Product, Collaborative Classroom
"Stefanie was an absolute joy to work with. She is focused and diligent, and utterly trustworthy about delivery of work. She is an extremely positive presence, and generally a pleasure to have as part of a small team."- Cathy Edwards, Entrepreneur
"A huge percentage of the wisdom I've acquired over the past 15 months is directly due to working with Stefanie. Never have I worked with a colleague (or boss) who was able to wield such a potent combination of talent, class, tact, quality, subtle vision and consistency in her work as Stefanie."- Matt Weldon, Director of UX
