Allen County Donor Wall
Project Scope:
In 2013, a client approached me about creating a donor wall for a local area hospital. The digital display would be an interactive touch-screen system that would allow users to search for certain donor information. The donor wall would be an incorporation of all previous donors and future donors. This project was especially important to project stakeholders due to the fact that most of them had either grown up in the area, or worked at the hospital themselves. It was an opportunity for them to leave a legacy of generosity for generations to come. Also, this was the community’s opportunity to embrace technology, while at the same time honor the ways of the past. That being said, this project required more than average face to face interaction to make sure that the message of the community was being displayed correctly.
Method:
Considering that most of the client stakeholders were part of an older generation, I made sure to take extra time in every stage of the process. First I met with them to gather the requirements and build an understanding for their vision for the donor wall. Once I gained a clear picture of what they were looking for, I began building high end interactive wireframes that would behave in the same way as the donor wall. This allowed the users to see exactly how the wall would act and feel before the final product was released. I continued to update the wireframes as the project continued and changes were made. I also oversaw usability testing with the end users and client stakeholders numerous times through the building process. These tests allowed us to find and correct problems quickly and turn out a great product in a timely manner. To develop the solutions I used the following skills: requirements gathering, wireframing, information architecture, work-flow studies, light graphic work and usability testing.
