imageDescription: Wireframe with rough digital sketches pointing various mobile screens to one another indicating which buttons move to which screens. Listed are three micro-personas, three scenarios, and several design intents. Each persona leads to a scenario where either a student wishes to learn English as a second language or donors and volunteers are directed on how to learn more and donate their time or money.

_A Pro-bono web project done during 2016's Austin Give Camp_

Through analytics it was apparent very few could find out how to sign up for classes on learning English - an all English website and the page being burried through subnavs was the likely culprit. We user tested some updated designs where a non-native speaker could jump right to a Spanish page on how to sign up for classes first.

### Adult & Family Learning Community
|
|
|
|
Using **Adobe Illustrator** I was able to visualize personas, design intents, problems and wireframes through scenarios before we implemented the new site flow.

|
We then improved **internationalization** for the rest of the website to support all the user personas we had discovered: The Student, The Donor, and The Volunteer. Next up was improving ways people can get involved either through their time or their dollar through a better workflow and cleaned up content.

Small tweaks made a world of difference for these users. Even ensuring the site ran on **HTTPS significantly raised the confidence of a potential donor**. I just about cried tears of happiness when the thank you letters came in from the group for impact we made on their group and org.
