Volunteering - web app redesign - open source

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.

Collaborate using Miro, data from use cases.  An area I took on was the Home Page & Feedback Form.

Team;  Scott Veirs - Founder

Brendan Thatcher - Lead Researcher

Myself - UX /UI - Product Designer /

Carina Cheng

Catherine Zeng

Working with our researcher;  Gathering and analyzing  the user data, 

we have determined the 'Citizen Scientist' Persona.

Shown is the current / old design.  Header will get the new branding / logo that I have designed in next version.  We are also updating the map with interaction & Feedback Form.  

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

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.  

Here I've incorporated the new logo & banner I designed & added an image carousel.

The team decided to go with another layout.

Using Marvel, shown the new logo & banner I designed with larger image carousel from user feedback.

Includes better userflow. 

My first Hack-a-Thon.  Here we started collaborating on the Learning aspect of OrcaSound.

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.

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.
