Red Cross
COMPANY: EPAM (EMPATHY LAB) / CLIENT: REDCROSS.ORG / ROLE: UX RESEARCH & DESIGN
The goal was to re-imagine redcross.org to create an engaging, unified experience, which delivers on the brand promise, enables volunteers to think globally and act locally, and turns volunteers into advocates. Key goals included increased donations, course registrations, & mobile.
I was instrumental in winning the pitch and leading client interactions. I led multi-year redesign of the entire redcross.org experience, including chapter integration, online donations, course scheduling, eCommerce, volunteer services, and various other online initiatives on ATG.
