Working towards staff disability confidence, I was given a brief to design a digital toolkit that provides a streamlined experience for staff to integrate accessibility into their everyday work. The scope of this project was that I would not be creating new materials but designing a digital learning experience with existing resources that demystify accessibility, making the learning process simple, engaging, and accessible.

Process
Outcomes
Figma prototype
- Discovery: Conducted desk research of existing resources on the University Website and market research on other accessibility toolkits and learning resources.
- Ideation: Mapped resources to different knowledge areas and begun ideating layouts and user flows through low-fidelity wireframes on paper and Figma.
- Prototyping: Refined content and user flow while building out the pages of the toolkit and iterating based on feedback from my team and stakeholders.
Outcomes
- Functional prototype accessibility toolkit on Figma to share with stakeholders and get feedback.
- Actionable next steps for marketing and communications advisor to iterate based on stakeholder feedback and build the toolkit in Adobe Experience Manager based on the prototype.
