The Worldwide Bee Organization was founded to connect proactive individuals dedicated to sharing, designing, and constructing valuable solutions that can truly make a difference in the bee and honey industry.
While working on the Worldwide Bee Organization project, my responsibilities were to develop company logo, creating the design and layout of a website, collaborating with the team lead and product management. With this the team defined and implement innovative solutions for the product direction, visuals and experience, branding guidelines, style guides, user-flows, merchandise, and application mock-ups.
• Conducting user research under the constraints of the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Creating cohesive website pages when team members were individually assigned to creating different pages
• Prioritizing which problems to solve first and how to do so in a timely manner
• Prototyping and iterating of different assets the company needs while keeping it consistent
• Adobe XD for website page prototyping
• Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign to create Brand Guidelines and company Logo
• Microsoft Office to create user research scripts and collect results
• Problem solving based on feedback from user-research
The Worldwide Bee Organization project consisted of the company owner and interns hired through the Evolve X program. Interns took roles as Project Leads, UI/UX designers and Web Developers depending on the expertise. As a team we set goals that aligned with the overall mission, purpose and vision of the organization. We led open discussions about problems, talked about what went wrong and focused on forming best practices for the development process. Together we learned what quality means to us and the things we can do to foster high-quality standards.
The goal of this homepage is to provide users with digestible information on bee industry infrastructure, technology, sales outlets, and research information about a commercial and cost-efficient farm. The challenge we faced was how to get all this information across without overwhelming users. Our solution was to provide the world map with icons that users could click into to find specific information about bees in different regions of the world.
The goal for this news page is to give the website a modernized look while creating the feel of the honeybee industry. The challenge we faced was creating consistency between this page and others while maintaining our high fidelity wireframes. Our team came up with the idea to use hexagons, as hexagons represent honeycombs from beehives, and bee images to keep consistency between the different pages.
