The La Humla website aims to provide a modular and flexible training program designedspecifically for elementary school students aged 8-13 years. The primary goal is to create anengaging and interactive online learning environment that supports various educationalactivities and accommodates diverse learning styles.

Problem statement:
Traditional educational platforms often lack the flexibility and interactivity necessary toengage young learners effectively. Students can become disinterested in rigid formats,leading to a decline in motivation and participation. The challenge was to design a websitethat promotes active learning through modular content and engaging interactions.

Insight

We asked Norwegian Coutures 10 best costumers, what was the most important for them when they would invest in a new suit or blazer.

Also, we asked them how a standard size suit would fit them, and if any, where the problems was located. We figured out that the most common problem was too long or too short on arms, and also the total jacket length.

This is the same insight that the founder was telling us, after 10 years in the business.
