The Fisher Center at Bard
The Fisher Center supports, produces, and presents the work of visionary, courageous, and unconventional performance artists. The main objective of this redesign was a user-centric experience focused on providing particular user groups with the information necessary to stay up to date with past/upcoming performances and learn more about them through the comprehensive multimedia archive.
My role involved refreshing the design system, designing the detail pages, footer, and 404 page.

Establishing a Design System
After inventorying any re-usable components we saw on the site, we began to establish a more refined/clear design system reflecting the Fisher Center and its site needs. We were able to reduce complexity and ambiguity, ensure UI consistency, and create a foundation for further improvement.
Empowering Users to Explore and Learn
My goal while designing the detail pages under the “Explore & Learn” tab was to create an experience where a user can explore perspectives from past, present, and future programming while also being recommended content relevant to what they are browsing. This was accomplished by designing a comprehensive multimedia archive featuring materials from audio recordings, blog posts, books, programs, and videos.
Turning a Negative Experience Positive
The previous 404 page contained plain text without redirection of any sort for the user. We recommended building a 404 that speaks creatively with purpose to their venue and helps redirect the user back to the homepage.
