Palestinian History Platform UX Strategy

Palestinian Journeys is an immersive historytelling platform developed in partnership between Visualizing Palestine (a project of Visualizing Impact), the Palestinian Museum and the Institute for Palestine Studies.

I worked with Visualizing Palestine from the initial strategy phase of the project through to concept development and design. Alongside assisting in the development of the initial proposal and budget plan for the project, my primary role was to visually syntesize the ideas from initial discussions with the partners into a UX strategy for the project.

Our aim through the project was to evolve our partners’ ideas of a traditional timeline-based platform into an immersive exploration with visual, story-driven content as a primary entry point to engage a wider audience.
