UX DESIGN FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

PRO BONO TEACHING 🚌

UX Design is one of the fastest growing jobs in the digital-first economy. Yet, UX Design education doesn't exist in most high schools.

To expand UX learning, I volunteer with the high school in my community as a UX teacher and curriculum advisor.

Juniors and seniors explore UX Research, UI Design and Usability Testing as they design a semester-long project.

UX Design education is a great fit for visual learners, creative-types, doodlers ;) It's a hands-on way to explore lifelong skills! Here's a bit more information on the UX program.

PRO BONO DESIGN 🎨

The Brand Lab is one of the most innovative non-profits today. They partner with creative agencies and high schools to facilitate impactful internships for students of all backgrounds.

As the organization scaled, they wanted to refresh their brand to reflect their inclusive and professional culture.

Also, they sought to level-up their robust job board - all to make it easier for students to find life-changing opportunities.

I volunteered to work with their team to design updates to the brand, as well as a redesign for their website - all to help their important mission of building a more inclusive creative workforce!
