Feeling incredibly grateful to be featured as one of the Fall 2025 Student Spotlight Winners at the Center for Digital Experiences at Pratt Institute! ✨ This recognition reflects my work on expanding the platform’s reach beyond its core professional audience to engage a broader GLAM community. To support this goal, the Explore section was revamped, specifically the Homepage and Contribution page, to create a more intuitive, accessible, and visually engaging experience. The redesign encourages visitors to explore the database and contribute their own listings, fostering a more collaborative community while supporting the platform’s long-term growth. I’m thankful to the team for highlighting this project and for the mentorship and support received throughout the semester at Pratt Institute - School of Information. I’m excited to continue designing for meaningful, human-centered impact! If you’d like to dive deeper, here’s the full case study: https://lnkd.in/dZpjBwRQ
