WIPP
Redesigning and restructuring the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant into a more intuitive way for users and employees to retain government documents
2022
My Role
I was the lead UI designer for this project. I worked closely with our Project Strategist and Front-End Developer to make sure the designs aligned perfectly with the structure of the site. I was responsible for collaborating with the internal team and the clients to make sure I understood every part of the website. I created a design system that was inspired by the building blocks of a hands on waste site. The redesign of the site is intended to be flexible for the client to create any page they may need now, or in the future, using components. I was responsible for designing a system that ensured all components felt cohesive and pieced well together.
User Experience
This site has been collecting government documents and resources for over 20 year, with no way to filter or organize them. Our goal was to create a simple experience for WIPP employees and the general public to source documents and resources.
Working with the Development Team
Our internal development team built and designed page templates and components in Drupal so that the internal WIPP team could have the freedom to pick and choose the necessary blocks to build out their pages and documentation.
The Results
Due to internal restructuring, the client was not able to implement the design that was done by me and Savas Labs.
