Research Connections

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

This was a unique project that needed a custom template designed to meet their user needs. The stakeholders wanted the ability for Government agencies to complete an online form about their research project. Once this was approved it would generated a page using the information from the online form and display the content in a clean and user friendly template.

The project required me to create two templates:

Listing page - where research teams at public universities could browse the listings to find connections between research projects and their capabilities.

Project page - displaying the details of the research projects and other relevant contact information.
