Overview

Project Background:
This final project was for the UX/UI Bootcamp at Rice University and the challenge was to design and code (for extra challenge) a website that spoke to my heart. Wanting to see where my limit was with taking on a full-scale project outside of my fulltime job at the time, I chose to work by myself to create a website to help the foreigners of Japan. The project covered the full spectrum of the coursework from the user research to high fidelty prototyping through coding, and user testing.

This website aims to help immigrants facing legal problems in Japan. Original solution was to have a multi-language legal resource website complete with rich search filters for finding multi-lingual law offices and community based annotation site where users rate and exchange annotations of Japanese legal web resources in their respective language. Due to the limited time allowed for the project, I focused most on the search filter feature of the service and gave a rough draft for the annotation feature.

Tools Used:
Adobe XD, Miro Board, Google (Docs, Spreadsheet, Form, Meet), Zoom (for international interviews and user testing!)

Frontend Prototyping
React (specifically, create-react-app) was used for frontend coding (Github). Online AI face generator and logo generator were used to mass produce fake assets and basic javascript was used for locally generating fake data.
