Project Overview
For PUXD Learning Studio 2 my team was tasked with creating an interactive web page that would solve a problem within the community. We were particularly drawn towards Purdue Arts after hearing accounts of negative experiences from our peers. Overtime, we have seen examples in which information about various art events were not heavily attended, due to ineffective communication efforts.
Thus, our team decided we could improve the current Purdue Arts website and make it more effective for Purdue students or prospective students.

My Contributions
Purdue Online Galleries
We completed a variety of activities in order to understand our problem space and the needs of our user group, such as by conducting secondary research, interviews, and co-designs based on our user group.
​
Through our activities we gained valuable insight we could use in our design going forward such as:
​
-
Students have had a poor experience with the Purdue Galleries website
-
A rise in digital engagement in the arts world
-
Online galleries have become more prevalent since Covid
-
A lot of art students feel that their hard work isn’t being promoted and recognized
Final Design
Through user testing and co-designs we coded a redesigned version of Purdue Galleries. This redesign would be an all in one stop for art students to showcase their work and learn more about what the galleries has to offer.
