The Objective

The new design was to move from a static information resource to a dynamic science news destination. Moreover, NASA SMD wanted their beautiful photos in space as the centerpiece. Mobomo took on the task of designing, developing, migrating their new site. Launching the new site in fall 2016. My role was the lead UI designer for the project. Working with key stakeholders in simplifying their navigation through usability testing. Working on a new approach to have the site be more news-oriented.
