Service design, web/UX design, event design
I worked with Agusta Calloway (project manager) and Arundhati Bagrodia (event designer) to create the attendee experience.
One of my favorite contributions was designing and hosting the conference closing networking event.
I was also in charge of finding a captioning partner for the conference that could integrate with our tech stack.

On the design team I worked with Amber Reed (creative director), Vidihika Khanna (supporting UX designer), Polly Adams (UX writer), and Axia Zucchi (graphic designer).
My role was to design and build the website, which involved collaborating on written content and graphic assets to make an exciting and intuitive digital experience.
Together we built a design system and style guide from visual prototypes and user feedback.
I then designed wireframes in Figma, and built and published the website in Aventri.
Design for Co-Creation
We designed our process to get many inputs from relevant teams and stakeholders throughout the project. We elicited initial expectations through a workshop and prototypes. Based on secondary research, we created lofi and hifi wireframes for feedback from the whole team.
Modularity
Because a site depends on content from many teams, we designed each section to flex and work independently. This enabled us to update the site in small pieces as new content is ready.
Design System
Starting with a single promotional image, we developed a visual identity and design system for the website’s components. This enabled us to quickly build and implement new pages with less revisions.
In order to deliver a great site with the extremly limited technology we were contracted to use, I wrote 500 lines of HTML and CSS to overcome hardwired limitations.
