Background

I worked on this Information Architecture redesign project with a partner for our Information Architecture course in the MS in Information Sciences program at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The project involved focusing on one website and over the course of the semester writing up a report to give suggestions for a complete information architecture overhaul.

Information Architecture Work

  • Worked with stakeholders at the organization to gather needs
  • Curated primary source materials
  • Collected information about the website and the organization
  • Collected information about the users and creating personas
  • Conducted usability testing and write up reports
  • Wireframed the existing site
  • Wireframed the proposed site structure
  • Created a controlled vocabulary from language on the website and from primary sources
  • Created a Dublin Core metadata scheme
