A complex offering. A clearer way in.
Digital Living Lab brings together student projects, learning by developing, experimentation and collaboration with organizations. Visitors have different questions: what the lab does, how to join, what resources are available and who to contact. The design task was to connect those needs through understandable navigation.
Organize content around visitor intent.
I structured the website so visitors begin with orientation before finding more specific studies, development projects, resources, partners and contacts.
How do I get involved?
Make courses, projects and learning opportunities discoverable.
What can we do together?
Provide pathways to equipment, partners, resources and contact information.

A visual language created for the project.
I designed custom icons, graphics and photography to make the web pages consistent and recognizable. The examples below represent three of the site's key themes.
One hierarchy across screen sizes.
The layout adapts from desktop to narrower screens while keeping the same content order. My priorities included clear headings, flexible media, readable typography, useful navigation and generous spacing rather than simply shrinking desktop layouts.
A published website, not only mockups.
I implemented the site structure, pages, content and visual system, providing a consistent experience across the website. The live site is the deliverable; this case does not invent analytics gains or conversion measures.
The central design decision was to make a broad educational and collaborative environment understandable through strong information hierarchy and original visual storytelling.
