Chase Center

Project:
Component-Based Website Redesign
Role:
UX Lead | Information Architecture & Interaction Design

Context

Chase Center required a rapid redesign of its website focused on improving information clarity and navigation structure. The project operated under a compressed timeline (approximately two months), with a lean team of three and the constraint of building a scalable system based on reusable components.

The environment demanded speed, flexibility, and structural discipline.

The Strategic Challenge

Redesign navigation and IA within tight time constraints.

  • Establish a reusable component framework.

  • Facilitate ongoing stakeholder reviews with frequent changes.

  • Maintain clarity while iterating rapidly.

The complexity was operational rather than technical: alignment and velocity were critical.

My Contribution

As UX Lead, I was responsible for:

  • Redefining information architecture.

  • Designing navigation logic and user flows.

  • Creating low- and high-fidelity wireframes.

  • Structuring a reusable component system.

  • Enabling collaborative real-time design sessions.

To manage continuous stakeholder feedback and shifting requirements, I built editable wireframes directly in Mural. This allowed live iteration during review sessions, significantly reducing rework and accelerating alignment.

Strategic Decisions

  • Reduced navigation depth to simplify user pathways.

  • Introduced a scalable component-based structure.

  • Shifted wireframing into collaborative environments to support real-time iteration.

  • Prioritized structural coherence over surface-level redesign.

Outcome

  • Delivered a clarified and more concise navigation structure.

  • Reduced iteration cycles through real-time collaborative adjustments.

  • Established a reusable design system foundation within a compressed timeline.
