TriUXPA for Social Impact

A team of TriUXPA members volunteered for the pilot project of Triangle UXPA UX for Good. The 7-week project included a redesign of the website for Apiopolis, a local urban bee sanctuary.

The volunteers included:

-        Ginger Poole, Lead UX Designer

-        Jenny Liao, Staff UX Designer

-        Keith Green, Staff UX Designer

-        Grace Montgomery, User Researcher, and Copywriter

-        Miranda Capra, Accessibility Consultant

The team worked with the founder Alice Hinman, and Candace Lacy. The team interviewed Alice, updated the IA, created copy, and redesigned the pages using Figma.  A Figma prototype was the final deliverable.

“I could not have been more impressed with this team . . .  They were incredible to work with - extremely organized, professional, engaged, and thorough. The team even scheduled time with an Accessibility expert to provide detailed direction on that subject . . .  The final deliverables will result in a clean, modern, elegant website that truly reflects the spirit of Apiopolis . . .  I encourage anyone who is even considering this program to participate, and I sincerely thank this team for the opportunity and their extraordinary work – THANK YOU!”

– Candace Lacy, web developer for Apiopolis

"Thanks so much for hosting and leading this opportunity! I'm really glad to have met and worked with everyone and it has been a phenomenal learning experience. I will sing its praises and recommend this opportunity to anyone pursuing the field!”
