Business Analysis/User Journey

The user journey for Charlotte Family Housing (CFH) involved assessing their current donor and volunteer management processes with the help of Bank of America volunteers. The volunteers conducted a detailed analysis to identify inefficiencies and then researched and recommended a new, unified data management system. This solution streamlined CFH's operations, improved data accuracy, reduced manual work, and enhanced staff satisfaction. The new system is expected to save time, lower costs, and provide better analytics to strengthen relationships with donors and volunteers. You can read more here.

Wish-cycling, the act of recycling non-recyclable items with good intentions, is a widespread issue that undermines the effectiveness of recycling programs. Studies reveal that a significant portion of recycled materials never make it through the process. This project dives into the root causes of recycling misinformation and explores how design and technology can drive social change, making recycling more effective and accessible for everyone.
