About this work
AITC brings together five AI and Technology Collaboratories and a Coordinating Center run by Yale University and Indiana University. At the Coordinating Center I designed AITC's brand and public website from scratch and built the front end on my own. The bigger part of the work is the system behind it: a design system the build enforces, so no off-scale color, size, or spacing can ship, and workflows that automate what staff used to do by hand, from events that move themselves from upcoming to past to one submission form for all six AITCs. On the grant platform, I shaped each role's flows with the engineer who builds it, ran its usability review, and wrote guides whose screenshots regenerate from scripts.
