UX & Web Design ​Projects.

As a disclaimer, this is not my ideal portfolio interface. Weebly was cool for making a website back when I needed it for job applications in 2017, but now I need something thicc. I'm working on a much sexier production in WebFlow, but it's taking a good chunk of time to do it correctly. So, this will have to suffice until it's done 😎

Below is a tl;dr (too long; didn't read) list of projects. I'm working on the details to articulate and visualize my process. 

My Website IA Reorg

My role: Information Architect
Tools: Optimal Workshop, Notion (for organizing my thoughts and task management)
Status: In Progress (does it ever really end?)
tl;dr version: I created this website using a basic template back in 2017 when I was originally applying to professor jobs. I never assessed the IA! Since I've added a lot of content over the years and my goals are different now, I wanted to assess whether the categories were intuitive to a wider variety of users. A series of open and closed card sorts revealed that most of my original categories matched users' expectations except for a couple of persistently-fuzzy options. As a result, I restructured the navigation menu to what you see now.

​Next up is a tree test to see whether the newly-organized information is findable with some additional context (and to hopefully flesh out these fuzzy concepts).

My role: UX Writer, UX researcher
Tools: Figma, FigJam, Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, GitHub
​Status: In progress
tl;dr version: I'm on a multidisciplinary team working on a specific project called Access the Data. It's a two-part project focusing on improving data literacy for citizens who want to learn how to use open-source data to advocate for a cause. We are building a website for citizens to find resources on this (part 1) and workshops/modules to train them (part 2). 

I entered the project nearly a year after it had started as its first UX writer. Most of my impact over the last few months has not been something I can screenshot or benchmark; as a UX writer, my role is much more than paring down and clarifying copy. Some of my other responsibilities include:
  • Designing, implementing, and analyzing studies with other researchers (usability testing, A/B testing, tree testing, card sorting, interviews)
  • Refining research materials and recruiting participants
  • Leading and contributing to the ideation process
  • Making recommendations and design components in Figma while consulting with developers
  • Establishing copy and microcopy tone, voice, and clarity with other UX writers
  • Managing stakeholders and other team members
  • Advocating for inclusive language and design
  • Creating onboarding tutorials for new team members
