Department of Justice (DOJ) is a federal executive department of the United States government tasked with the enforcement of federal law and administration of justice in the United States.
Roles and Responsibilities
- User Experience Design including key user flows and wireframes.
- Created high fidelity prototypes to show the full product experience.
- Front-End Development in JavaScript, JQuery.
Problem
As part of the government's cloud migration strategy, DOJ is looking to retire some of their department's applications in favor of a modernized, flexible one. Users should be able to seamlessly move to the application, with favored developmental changes to improve their user experience.
Process
- Spoke with clients, noted current application, and gathered user feedback from current application.
- Created site map to understand current application layout, and organize user feedback towards associated sites.
- Defined MVP and product features; built interactive prototypes for biweekly demonstration and feedback with clientele.
- Worked as sole front-end developer using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, converting mock-ups to product.
Product and Reflection
The application prototyping process was the most flexible I had come across so far. While the project requirements were to make a 1:1 product of the previous application, I was handed the reins as the UX Lead on the team to experiment with fresh ideas for the application. This led to researching, experimenting, and creating new solutions in ways I had never imagined previously, which really helped shape the sort of work I would love to do in the future. Is there a position called UX Scientist? I think I'd like to have a role called that.
The projects I had worked on in my time here is under NDA, no product can be shown here unfortunately. However, I'm happy to discuss more about it if you're interested.
