USER RESEARCH
In a team of 3, I ran user interviews to understand how people went about volunteering and donating, what motivated them, and their overall sentiment around it. From there, we used empathy maps to capture, categorize and prioritize user needs. Persona cards helped us keep these insights with us through ideation and design.

CONCEPT GENERATION & REFINEMENT
With good starting points from the interviews, I hand-sketched options in quick iterations. As these stabilized, I moved them to Sketch and iterated on interaction, and how the different components would work together. I then built an interactive version of these wireframes on InVision and used it to connect the screens and consolidate the interaction.

VISUALS & VOICE
I used Speakable’s primary colors and tone as starting points to create a visual brand that feels like a sibling to their main product, the Action Button: related, but different. I also used friendly, impact-driven language to help volunteers feel valued, empowered, and part of something meaningful.
