Welcome to my thesis page. Read below to learn more!
Inspired by "A Work-Centered Approach to System User-Evaluation" by Roth (2021) and UX design principles, this thesis project aims to determine the usability levels of the ASU Class Search System to locate pain points and provide appropriate recommendations. The ASU class search system allows students to complete the necessary tasks, but the user experience is frustrating due to unnecessary scrolling, clicking, and searching.
The user evaluation confirms that some improvements could be made to the class search system to improve its utility and usability. The main improvements suggested in this work address filter and navigation inconsistencies, an overwhelming negative space, minor design inconsistencies, minor jargon and content inconsistencies, scroll stoppers, and guide support.
"[It’s] annoying that when I change the terms it removes all my filters and resets to the home screen"
"Why would the course catalog say [the class] is available this term when it's not available in class search?"
"[This process] took a lot less time when I knew what I was looking for"

I developed redesign comps for desktop and mobile of the homepage and locations page to showcase design recommendations for the Phoenix Public Library Website based on data collected in the user evaluation process.
I completed this design project to improve the ASU Food Reconnection resource page and centralize the resources supporting food equity, food access, engagement, and sustainability available to the ASU community.
