MIT's Archival Museum for Architectural History

PROJECT BRIEF
The Aga Khan Museum sponsored this world-class web app digital product designed to meet the needs of academic scholars and architects alike. Packed with in-depth research on thousands of architecturally significant locations. Includes an architectural history timeline, collections of architectural styles, and a special search tool for researchers.

ROLE
My role as Digital Strategist and UX lead on the project helped transform an aging web 1.0 concept into a web 3.0 digital product. I was involved in both the front-end design and the design of the proprietary CMS used to manage the site’s content by scholars at MIT and Harvard.

METHODOLOGY
Interviewed dozens of scholars and architects, conducted requirements gathering, competitive analysis, user research, persona development, developed use cases, crafted journey maps, executed heuristics evaluations of existing site and ethnographic studies of user's workflows, produced detailed wireframes for production, helped develop motion graphics, designed and produced UI composites, and produced a series of prototypes along with business case and product roadmap.
