Apr 2022 - Nov 2022
UX designer of a small team takes with digitizing the process lawyers, government clerks, and justices (judges) use to submit, review, and rule on divorce applications in Alberta. I researched the complicated web of the Alberta Judicial system and from that knowledge built flowcharts, and designed user interfaces and experiences. I interviewed subject matter experts, created prototypes, helped design usability tests, and worked with developers to build my designs. I also collaborated with other teams working on similar digitizing projects in Alberta’s Justice system to coordinate our users’ experiences.
