Stanford University

Stanford University’s Our Voice Discovery Tool lets people document the features of their local environment that impact health. I researched and redesigned the whole product, the mobile app people record with, and the admin and super-admin systems that run it for users around the world. The revamp is in development, so the screens stay private for now.

Challenge

One product, three audiences: the people recording their surroundings on a phone, the admins running each study, and the super admins overseeing every study at once. Each with a different job to get done.

What I did

Research, information architecture and UI design across the mobile app and both admin systems, the whole revamp designed by me.

Why it is locked

Stanford’s revamp is not public yet, so the designs stay off this page. I am glad to share them privately and talk through the decisions behind them.

Next

Development is underway. The screens join this page once the revamp ships and Stanford clears them for sharing.
