Every year Northeastern University makes dramatic strides across a broad range of priorities: global experiential education, student achievement, academic innovation, faculty strength, use-inspired research, and alumni engagement. These institutional accomplishments website provides the tangible indicators of Northeastern's continuing impact and advancement. The ask was to design a scalable, responsive website template that can be used in future years.
As a lead designer I was responsible for the complete user-centered design cycle. I worked closely with PM, developers and content writers on a regular basis to come up with requirements, information architecture and design solutions. I utilized my full range of interaction design, interface design, visual design, prototyping, usability testing and branding skills to validate/invalidate our hypothesis as quick as possible. I then collaborated with developers to ensure design solutions are technically feasible and the final product was polished while maintaining an aggressive timeline.
Design process from Low to High Fidelity

The team produced institutional accomplishments website that guides users through the achievements of the Northeastern University. The websites groups achievements across broad range of priorities in three simple story lines: experiential learning, research and communities empowered. With the use of various multimedia and micro interactions the users are presented with the comprehensive view of Northeastern's continuing impact and advancement. In addition, the website allows users to download the data sheet with major measures of momentum to aid users getting the printable pdf from the website without contacting administrative assistance to access the information.
