Mental Health at Work

NSW Government

In 2019, the NSW Government website was given the green light to migrate over 500 Government websites into one central, customer-centric site. To support the consolidation and migration of these websites I was employed to assist the NSW Government Digital Channels team in creating new reusable components, designing template layouts, wireframing, generating high fidelity prototypes, analysing quantitative and qualitative data, participating in user research and implementing UX/UI improvements to the current design system. This role also required the application of design best practices and standards while focusing on accessibility, human centred design and a mobile first approach.

In order to achieve this I built strong working relationships and effectively collaborated with:

• the Digital Design Systems team

• internal and external stakeholders

• internal and external developers

• designers and researchers from the UX team

• content designers

• accessibility specialists

Project overview

I had been asked to assist in the migration of Mental Health at work (MH@W) into the nsw.gov.au site. I was asked to design a new template that would included components from our current design system and also incorporate branding elements from the original MH@W campaign.

 The Challenge

While the brief seemed easy enough, the real challenge was to design a template that could be reused across all future campaigns that would be migrated into the nsw.gov.au site. I needed to design a fool proof system that could be applied to any kind of branding and would have an optimal, consistent design outcome.
