A collaboration across many websites
My work for Discipleship Ministries started with a redesign of their main site, and continued over several years into additional sites for audiences and campaigns. This included Young People's Ministries, their "See all the people" movement, an online store, a content library and their hymn database.

Approach
A proven process
Over multiple projects, I worked with the Discipleship team and found success through following a consistent, proven process. This included in-depth discovery, content strategy, determining a clear site architecture, concepts and visual design. A mix of flowcharts, sketches, wireframes and prototypes were used to validate and test ideas.

Results
A consistent design system for an ecosystem of websites
My role for each project culminated in a hand-off of design files and collaboration with development to insure a smooth transition from design to code. The result of our work together was a consistent design system, applied across many mobile-friendly websites. Each website has a unique variation matching the audience or goals, while feeling part of the overall system.
