A world of possibilities
Context & Audience
STEMIE supports educators and professionals working at the intersection of STEM and inclusive education. The site needed to communicate credibility while remaining approachable and accessible.
Problem / Goal
The challenge was balancing institutional branding requirements with clarity, usability, and accessibility for a broad audience that includes educators, researchers, and community partners.
My Role
I contributed to branding decisions, website structure, and content presentation, working within existing institutional systems and accessibility standards.
Challenges & Decisions
- Designing for a diverse audience with different technical comfort levels
- Ensuring accessibility while maintaining visual identity
- Working within constraints of a university web environment
Outcome & Impact
The final site presents a clear, consistent identity and improves content discoverability while aligning with accessibility best practices.
Reflection
This project reinforced how branding and accessibility are not competing priorities — they are mutually reinforcing when done intentionally.
