The mission



UX Design
Modularity Meets Clarity
We inherited wireframes from Mennsk and built on user research to shape a clean, user-focused interface. With students, faculty, alumni, and the public all using the site, we had to balance clarity with flexibility. Modular design components let editors build pages that adapt to any content—without breaking UX.

Visual Design
A Fresh Face for HÍ
We gave HÍ a fresh visual identity to stand out in a sea of lookalike institutional sites. Enter Deep Pink: a bold, friendly contrast to the traditional blue, adding warmth without sacrificing credibility. Paired with a clean, legible typeface, the result feels modern, confident, and uniquely HÍ.


Development
Built to Last
We worked closely with HÍ’s internal development team throughout. Every component was documented, tested, and built to be responsive and accessible. The design system we created acted as the single source of truth—making handoff smoother and future updates way less painful.



Accessibility
Every User in Mind
Accessibility wasn’t a checkbox—it shaped every decision. From adopting the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface to implementing pause buttons on carousels, we made sure users of all abilities could navigate with ease. High color contrast, logical reading order, focus states—you name it, we covered it.



Conclusion
A Site That Lives Up to HÍ
The new site is a bold, accessible platform that lives up to HÍ’s reputation. It’s now easier to explore, more inclusive, and built for growth. Best part? The internal team has a system they can confidently build on.
