Network for Applied Technology (NAT) Account Pages
My Role
UX Designer. I owned the wireframing, sketching, and Figma prototyping for the NAT member portal redesign, working alongside a Tech team lead, a second UX designer, and a development team.
The Project
NAT (Network for Applied Technology) is a not-for-profit helping early innovators apply emerging tech to complex problems. I joined their Tech team as a volunteer UX Designer in March 2025 to help redesign their member portal — the hub where event attendees, program participants, partners, and other stakeholders register and engage with NAT's offerings.
What I Navigated
This project had real-world complexity: a mid-project rebrand, a second designer joining partway through, and some pages being paused due to shifting priorities across teams. Staying adaptable without losing momentum on the deliverables that were locked is something I'd point to as a core part of how I approach collaborative design work.

Current natPortal.
The existing portal had blank sections, imbalanced text layouts, and lacked the features NAT's growing community would need. These screenshots show the starting point the redesign was working against.
Audit & Sketching.
After reviewing the current portal, I developed initial layout concepts through paper sketches and iterated based on feedback from the Tech team lead before moving to Figma..
Medium-Fidelity Figma Prototypes.
I built out desktop and mobile layouts in Figma, covering the key account pages. Mid-project, a full rebrand required me to update the sticker sheet, header fonts, and primary colour across all pages, a scope change I worked through without disrupting the team's timeline.
Handoff to Development.
The redesign has entered its build phase. Developers are now using the Figma mockups to bring the new portal to life.
