PROJECT
Problem
The previous Pangea.app landing page was not successful in providing the necessary insight to consumers that lead to higher sign up rates.
The overall design was outdated and needed updating.
INTERNSHIP
Challenge
Redesign the landing page to increase user turnover rates as well as provide more holistic overview of Pangea's businesses and products.
Compromise
This was the first project where I needed to collaborate with another designer outside of school and really taught me the limitations of designing for a company rather than yourself. While I was given a little freedom in terms of what and how I designed, I still have to abide by company standard and create their vision rather than my own.
