UX Designer: Empowered Education

Empowered Education came to me asking to help them bring order to their sites which had no clear design point of view.

I created a complete Design System for two of their most important sites which included type guidelines, grid systems, buttons, iconography and a complete module library which allows their in-house designers to create cohesive landing pages more easily.

Using the new system I created, I re-skinned their entire site. This change made the site easier to understand for users and therefore more profitable.
