Challenge:
Despite offering valuable educational content and programming, the existing platform lacked intuitive structure, visual clarity, and accessibility features. Users especially students and parents often struggled to find key resources or understand how to get involved.
How might we create a user experience that simplifies access to educational resources and encourages deeper engagement across all user types?
Process
My goal as a UX designer was to enhance the usability, accessibility, and engagement of inEducation’s digital platform to better support their mission and the diverse needs of their audience.
Target Users
-
Students (Grades 6-12) seeking enrichment enrichment, scholarship, or career readiness resources.
-
Educators – Looking to connect with programs or tools for classroom use
-
Parents/Guardians – Navigating educational options and support for their children
-
Donors & Community Partners – Interested in supporting or collaborating with inEducation
Wireframes
I created low-fidelity wireframes that prioritized clear CTAs ("Apply Now", "Explore Programs")
Accessible navigation and clean hierarchy
Simplifed program descriptions
Making registering for different accounts more prominent and clear
Outcome
The redesigned inEducation website provided a dramatically improved experience for all user groups. It became easier for students to apply for programs, educators to access relevant tools, and families to engage with the organization. By listening to users and simplifying the digital journey, we empowered more students and families to take advantage of the opportunities they deserve. The most rewarding outcome was knowing that good design helped bring education within reach for many who need it most.
