Web / UX
The web is ever-changing. At Rutgers libraries, I worked on two design cycles, to redesign the website in response to changes in technology and patron needs in 2012, followed by a second significant redesign in 2017 as the libraries moved towards a digitally driven model.
I also designed sub-sites, digital exhibits and search portals, templates for micro-sites, a web style guide, and compiled and curated a library of icons for digital signage.

Wireframing
My design process for the redesign of the libraries website consisted of working with developers and a user experience librarian to create interactive prototypes (solutions) for mobile and desktop views. We then presented these to stake holders for feedback, returning to the drawing board when needed.
