Support victims of abuse in care
The Royal Commission team had the objective to offer online support to survivors of abuse in care, their friends and whanau (family) during the ongoing commission, including housing a library of documentation, reports and live streams of the hearings.
I led the design and research; facilitated in-person and online interviews with survivors, supporters and the Commission team; planned the design budget and schedule; collaborated with a cultural creative agency on digital branding; and developed wireframes, flows and final UI.
