In that role, I ensured all text was readable on the website. My responsibilities also extended to implementing images on the website, taking responsibility for virtually every element of the website. I was given the login credentials for the SquareSpace account that created the website, and made sure every image, animation, and line of text was accessible and to the client's liking.

This process involved adhering to a specific color scheme, designing a professional header, and strategically determining the placement of images. All design elements were aligned with the client's needs and preferences for the overall website aesthetic.

I also made graphics for the website on Canva (left) based on the art styles my team decided on.

Through feedback and style references, we discovered that our visual approach aligned with the client’s vision. Furthermore, we learned that the client preferred a focus on individuals with intellectual disabilities instead of those with physical disabilities, prompting us to adjust our art style accordingly.

I enjoyed the moments when I looked up Canva pictures with the art team and scrolled through the website draft to offer feedback. I'm glad that I was able to help out a bit but you all completed the main parts of the website. This was a learning experience for me as I learned some technical skills from some of you while using Canva. I was never part of a team that worked on Disability Doula before so this was a memorable experience. Also, I enjoyed the ice breaker games that we played together whether it's free doodling or NYTimes games. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more improvements on the website!

There were two teams, where one worked on the website layout and another worked on the visual aspects. This website aims to provide disabled pregnant people with the help and resources they need to be comfortable in their space while dealing with pregnancy.
