SPI website

overview

The Dream Academy - a community led 15-week course for LGBTQA+ users that provides resources such as training and skills to inspire members to shape their future.


Our goal was to update key application features and ensure a streamlined experience for SPI users.

our problem space

We wanted to figure out a way to better optimize the safe haven's mobile application. Currently the application had different UX/UI designers craft wireframes of different screens of the application such as Friend Requests, Settings, Sign up/Onboarding, Messaging, and Inbox. As a UX/UI designer, I worked together with my team to:


  • Update the design systems to create a consistent branding system. Tasks included improving color contrast, redesigning cards/elements, and adding icons with similar line weights.

  • Redesigned tasked screens (Profile Management, Comments, Onboarding, New Post, Friend List/Requests) for a more modern user interface.
