DesignThroughTheDecades

This project bridges the gap in fragmented and outdated design history resources by delivering a dynamic, multi-page Squarespace platform that serves as a centralized, searchable, and ever-evolving digital archive for student-driven, research-based content.

Process

This project was a site I worked on with a team of my classmates. I contributed across ideation, branding, and UX with a strong focus on aligning every decision back to the site’s core purpose, creating an engaging but accessible design archive. When exploring visual directions, I pushed more out-of-the-box ideas like a space theme to represent design across time, alongside museum and minimalist styles, always thinking about how to make the experience feel more exciting without sacrificing clarity or usability. This led to a final direction that blended museum structure with minimalist restraint, allowing the content to stay central while still feeling intentional and visually engaging. As I moved into UX, I carried that same mindset into building the About page, focusing on clear hierarchy, intuitive structure, and small design choices that made the page feel more dynamic while still efficient to navigate. Throughout the process, I was constantly thinking about how each piece supported the overall mission, while also adapting to feedback and collaborating across teams to refine ideas into something cohesive and functional.
