Demystifying Accreditation

Website

I joined the Higher Learning Commission (a college accreditor) when the Commission was in the midst of a website redesign. I worked with the communications team to design a new site that was mobile friendly and user centered. We conducted focus groups, ensuring that the new site would be intuitive for the HLC audience.

I collaborated with the Communications team to create the layout of the website, and designed all of the graphics for the new site. Our site is constantly updated to reflect the latest news, so I am continuosly creating new images to engage our audience. Since the site's launch in early 2017, I have created hundreds of illustrations, icons and other graphics. I incorporate HLC's brand colors and leaf logo into the images. I created a system of icons, consistent across this website and our other platforms, to help navigate the site. These graphics help to create an intuitive and enjoyable experience for HLC website visitors.
