Challenge: From January to May 2018, I worked with the US Census and fellow Harvard students to advise the organization’s CTO on how to improve and launch data.census.gov, the Bureau’s new data portal.
Approach: After conducting user interviews and understanding the client’s needs, we established user personas, and developed and tested prototypes to inform their next iteration of the project.
