My Work. |
To improve the current freelance websites' environment, my team and I have created a new freelance website called Fairlance that works differently from the popular freelance websites now.
Our final design contains different steps that build up to our final goal, creating a new community that gives freelancers equal power as clients. Collaboration Instead of Trade: Clients have a problem, and freelancers are there to help solve the problem. New Dual-Direction Rating System: clients and freelancers rate each other in two different categories, design and business skills (clients will only be rated for their business skills). The final score is then calculated appropriately into the freelancer or client's account. Feedback will also be provided by the rater and shown on the freelancer/client's profile, which will help future clients/freelancers determine whether to work with this person. Reflective Rating System: after the freelancer/client receives the rater's rating, they will be asked whether they agree with the rating. If not, they can send a request to the customer service to investigate further more into the project. |
To improve the first-year undergraduate UX students' experiences at Purdue University and help them enculturate to our UX family, my team and I focused on our target users' summer experience.
Our final design to the problem consists of three parts, email campaign, brochure (online), and postcard (in person): The email campaign contains three emails to our target users during different times in the summer, hoping to provide them some necessary information for them to start with. They will have more visualized and divided information than plain and long text to read compared to the current email. The online brochure contains all the detailed information about the program, the campus, the community (Discord channel), and faculties information, which helps answer most of the questions our target users have and help with their feeling of uncertainty about the program. The postcard we plan to mail to our target users will be a heartwarming little thing that tells our target users that we, the UX family, welcome them and care about them. |
