Leading & Guiding Middle Way House Website Redesign

Led the redesign of the Middle Way House website, a non-profit supporting survivors of domestic violence. Utilizing WordPress and Figma, I guided a team in creating a modern, user-friendly platform with enhanced accessibility and improved navigation. This semester-long project involved developing wireframes, personas, site maps, and style guides. I fostered collaboration within the team and with clients through bi-weekly meetings, presenting design updates and gathering feedback to ensure project success.
