Problem

Missionaries lacked a centralized platform that let them share their work, build visibility with potential supporters, and receive financial support in a way that felt trustworthy and easy to use. Existing solutions were fragmented, unintuitive, or not designed around missionary needs.

Responsibilities

• Synthesized stakeholder and user input to align donation and sharing workflows with the needs of missionaries and supporters.
• Designed the complete UI and UX for the platform.
• Created the design system used across the product.
• Developed wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.
• Designed user flows for visitors, supporters, and missionaries.
• Assisted with early frontend implementation to protect design-system quality.

Key Challenges

• Supporting multiple user roles while keeping the experience simple and intuitive.
• Designing for missionaries with different levels of technical literacy while still supporting profile, content, and donation workflows.

Design Decisions

• Simplified flows across visitor, supporter, and missionary roles.
• Created clear navigation patterns for a multi-role platform.
• Used a structured design system to maintain consistency as the product grew.
• Focused on reducing friction in donation and support flows.
• Designed a mobile-friendly experience for missionaries working in the field.

Impact

• Gave missionaries a dedicated platform to share work, updates, and progress.
• Made it easier for supporters to follow and financially support missions.
• Reduced friction in content sharing and donation flows.
• Kept the experience usable even for less technical users.
• Created a scalable design system that could support platform growth.
