Designing for an iconic new York organization
Designing for an iconic new York organization
The Legal Aid Society was founded in New York in 1876 by a coalition of lawyers, merchants, and businessmen to defend the rights of immigrants. As the Design Director and lead at Constructive, my redesign of their site focused on bringing that history and New York richness into a new, responsive digital home. Through the use of clear typographic rules, structured content, and iconography, their site can act as another way for New Yorkers who are the victims of discrimination to get help and legal services.

Defending the rights of everyday New Yorkers
A Flexible Editorial Design System
A critical part of this redesign was building tools that helped New Yorkers get legal support, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or how they identify. Through the wireframing and design process, we prototyped and refined a number of tools that made access to services simpler, explained our rights as citizens, and lowered barriers to understanding the justice system.
