Created for the CDS Group in Lancaster, PA, this website was designed after conducting a comprehensive marketing needs analysis. The website is a powerful platform to showcase the company's wide range of services and esteemed client base.
One of the standout features of the website is the captivating animated short video situated prominently at the top section. This video is an engaging introduction, highlighting the company's various services. By incorporating this visually appealing and informative video, the website provides visitors with an immersive experience, instantly capturing their attention and conveying the key value propositions of the CDS Group.
Through my active involvement in the National Science Foundation’s iCorps program, we conducted UX research interviews to assess the need of users and determine if there was market potential for a participation app. The insightful findings revealed a strong demand for a mobile app that fosters oral participation in traditional classroom settings, spanning K-12, higher education, and corporate training.
Leveraging the valuable insights garnered from interviews I developed new wireframes and functionality to meet the need of both instructors and students. Employing Adobe Illustrator and XD, I ensured a seamless design process that facilitated effortless collaboration with the backend developers. Next a visually appealing user interface was designed to add a style to match the intuitive functionality to align with the needs and preferences of potential users.
I contributed to conceptualizing and developing a healthcare debriefing mobile app focusing on knowledge transfer among emergency medicine residents. Through a unique approach using a beachball to engage participants, we conducted an extensive group user-testing involving both observers and participants.
Based on the observations and findings, I proceeded to storyboard the UI design for the app in Sketch and InVision as a demonstration for funding. The idea received funding from a Coulter Grant, known for supporting healthcare innovations. The app supports novice debriefers and guides them through the challenging aspects of healthcare debriefing.
Within a grant-funded research project at Drexel University, I collaborated with developers and faculty to design the user interface for a mobile app called TakeControl. This app aims explicitly to assist individuals with binge-eating disorders by helping them identify triggers and easily connect with their therapists for support.
The design process involved conducting UX design research with faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences. Through multiple rounds of user testing, we gathered valuable feedback and made necessary adjustments to ensure an optimal user experience.
Ultimately, our efforts resulted in the successful deployment of the app in the Apple App Store and Google Play, providing a valuable tool for individuals struggling with binge-eating disorders to take control of their condition and access the support they need. A larger company eventually purchased the app.
