Temple & Community Engagement Platform
Designing a peaceful digital experience that helps devotees discover events, access spiritual resources, contribute donations, and engage with the temple community.
Overview
This project focused on designing a digital platform that helps devotees easily connect with temple activities, spiritual programs, donations, and community events. The goal was to create a peaceful, intuitive, and accessible experience that reflects the temple's values while meeting modern user expectations.
I joined as a UX designer a year ago as one of 2 designers in an organization. I support design across every aspect of our business and am responsible for engaging UX and UI across key parts of the application side of the platform.
