From April to August 2024 I was the UX Designer and Research Assistant for the Health Justice Informatics Lab directed by Dr. Megan Threats, PhD. During my career at the HJIL, I designed branding for various logos, promotional flyers, created research infographic booklets, and successfully launched the official Health Justice Informatics Lab website.

Branding was the foundation before developing flyers, infographics, and the website for the Health Justice Informatics Lab. Using Adobe Photoshop, (slightly) Adobe Illustrator, and Figma, I brought Dr. Megan Threats' vision to life, designing the official lab logo as well as logos for the Second Chance @ The Library Study and Road 2 Reentry Study. I created dozens of iterations, incorporating Dr. Threats' feedback to refine and perfect the final designs.

Mobile-First Design
The UX design for the Health Justice Informatics Lab, alongside the Michigan Kidney Translational Medicine Center website redesign, prioritized a mobile-first approach. With most web searches happening on our "hand computers," it was essential to create a responsive design that functions seamlessly across both desktop and mobile devices.

Accessibility and Inclusive Design
Ensuring accessibility was a key consideration, incorporating WCAG guidelines for readability, color contrast, and navigation. Designing for diverse users, including those with disabilities, strengthened the project's impact and usability.

Visual Consistency and Branding
Maintaining a cohesive visual identity across the website and other digital assets reinforced brand recognition. Thoughtful typography, color schemes, and layout choices contributed to a professional and engaging user experience.
