✦ TL;DR
It started as a simple website redesign.
But then it became about making history accessible to both older alumni and younger students.
So I turned an existing static page into a digital journal that makes these stories easier to explore.

? PROBLEM
At first, the Bishop Blue Foundation had a website that held important history.
But then I realized the experience didn’t match the value of the content.

The site was static, hard to navigate, and not built for different generations of users.
This meant that stories from 1881–1988 were difficult to explore and engage with.
So the challenge became clear: how do we make this history easier to access and meaningful for both older alumni and younger students?
🔍 RESEARCH
To understand this better, I looked at how different users would interact with the site.
It became clear that older alumni needed something simple and familiar.

But then younger students expected something more interactive and engaging.
Because of this, a one-size-fits-all design wouldn’t work.

So I needed a solution that could bridge both groups.
💡 SOLUTION
That’s when I shifted the idea from a basic website to a digital journal.
Instead of just displaying information, I focused on creating an experience that feels easy to explore.
This allowed users to move through stories in a more natural and engaging way.
Step by step, the design became more interactive while still staying simple.
As a result, the site worked for both older alumni and younger students.

⭐ LEARNINGS
Looking back, I realized that designing for multiple generations requires balance.
It’s not just about adding more features, but choosing what to simplify.
In the end, the goal wasn’t just redesigning a website — it was making history easier to access and connect with.
