DemocracyLab - Volunteering for OrcaSound
While networking on LinkedIn I found DemocracyLab & OrcaSound. I currently volunteer here. DemocracyLab allows you to recruit others for your projects, if accepted.
I wanted to volunteer to a cause I believe in. DemocracyLab is also supported by The Gates Foundation.

Currently I am working on; Managing direction on designing a Learning Page, and developing the UI & style guide for this project.
- Tools: Figma, Canva, Marvel, Miro, AirTable, Trello, Slack, Go to Meeting & Zoom
Sketching
Improving UI of the home page. I designed the new logo and banners that can be used on next update.
Addressing user feedback of too much white space.
Figma prototypes
Here I've incorporated the new logo & banner I designed & added an image carousel.
The team decided to go with another layout.
Marvel prototype
Using Marvel, shown the new logo & banner I designed with larger image carousel from user feedback.
Includes better userflow.
Volunteer & Do Something Good
My first Hack-a-Thon. Here we started collaborating on the Learning aspect of OrcaSound.
Scope of Hack-a-Thon
Brendan is our lead for this project. This is what we will be working on today. He used the logo I created in his presentation deck.

Designing Infographic
Listening to comments from users I decided to do a side project. I took the initiative to design this infograph. The facts are from other orca sites and helps tell a story of WHY orcas are important.
It may eventually be incorporated to the Learning Page I am facilitating. This includes the logo that I also designed, on the header.
Continue learning is what I enjoy doing.
