NINDS: Brain Education Resources Redesign

Role: UX Designer & Content Strategist (Contract)

As part of a small creative team contracted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), I helped lead the restructuring and redesign of the Brain Education Resources page to better serve students, parents, and educators. Working alongside an illustrator and a writer, I guided the content strategy and page layout—untangling a dense library of materials, mapping how each audience sought information, and reorganizing the content into clear, purpose-driven sections. The new design brings engaging visuals and learning activities to the forefront, creating a friendlier, more accessible hub that feels as inspiring as the science it shares.

NINDS: MIND Your Risks®

Over several months, I led user research and a full redesign of the Mind Your Risks® campaign site, transforming it from a standalone awareness campaign into an integrated resource page within the broader NINDS ecosystem. Through rounds of user testing and content audits, I identified key gaps in how healthcare providers accessed stroke-risk information and educational materials. Working closely with a copywriter and product owner, I redesigned the site’s structure and interface to better align with provider workflows and clinical needs—resulting in a more intuitive, credible, and actionable experience that bridges public-health messaging with professional utility.

Know Stroke (en Espanol)

Role: UX Designer & Accessibility Advocate

I championed the retention and integration of the Spanish-language version of the Know Stroke® page into the broader National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) enterprise website—ensuring that Spanish-speaking audiences continue to access vital stroke-prevention information. Working alongside a skilled Spanish translator, I designed a streamlined, condensed version of the page that retained key messaging and culturally-relevant visuals, while simplifying navigation for an audience that spans patients, families, and community health workers. The result: a more inclusive and efficient resource that honors linguistic diversity and broadens public-health reach.
