User Experience Designer
I have assisted organizations from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies by creating products based on a user-centered design while meeting an organization’s best interest. My projects include redesigns for Krav Maga New York, iheartradio, Mypix2canvas site, and Roselle Catholic High School websites.
Krav Maga New York Redesign
Overview
Krav Maga New York is a training center specializing in the Israeli self-defense system based out of two locations in Somers and Middletown New York. The business was looking to redesign their outdated site to drive their brand presence, attract more clients, and improve the user experience for current students.
Problem
The current site taxonomy and labels were confusing to current students, further more the site wasn't leveraging any type of content or SEO strategy to boost their rankings.
Process
In regards to content I worked closely with a content strategist Michele Costa-Bell to review the current traffic going to the site, trends, and Adwords. I interviewed the stakeholders to understand what would they consider as a success for this redesign. I also interviewed users to understand their informational needs, in addition to conducting a comparative analysis to discover best practices. For deliverables I created a sitemap, recommended SEO friendly urls and annotated-high level wireframes.
