Michigan Tailoring System

Michigan Tailoring System

Project Overview

MTS is used by behavioral scientists at the University of Michigan to author and deliver unique, tailored content to students.

The Team

I worked as a Design Lead on MTS where I collaborated closely with behavioral scientists and developers.

The Problem

Outdated dashboard and team page designs made the discoverability and organization of projects difficult for users.

Our Goal

Our goal was to bring important projects to the forefront of the dashboard and provide a helpful overview of the individual projects.

Research & Information Gathering

After questioning and collecting information from our behavioral scientists and developers, I created an interactive demonstration to assure that our team was on the same page with how we would like our project inheritance feature to operate in order to display our projects correctly.

The Results

Through conversation, design iterations, and feedback, we were able to drastically improve the discoverability of projects and the organization of the dashboard.

Dashboard Redesign

 

Positive feedback from team members and users validated our design decisions.

I think Macy’s designs for the new homepage are great.

I continued my work on MTS by delivering new UI elements in the form of illustrations & animations.
