Local Misinformation Pipeline

The goal of this project is to produce a tool, Local Disinformation Pipelines, that surfaces misinformation circulating in local communities. The project will be executed through a partnership among interdisciplinary academics and news organizations, including the Communication School at UT Austin, the Information School at the University of Michigan, local newsroom Detroit Free Press, and more partners from California, Illinois, and Iowa. My role in the project is the only UI/UX designer on the team. I’m in charge of defining user needs through qualitative user research and market research, establishing UX strategy, and designing every detail of the functionality, such as delivering the wireframe, design system, user interface and prototype.
