Philanthropy Tech
Product Design
Objective
Design a first-of-its-kind SaaS platform that empowers philanthropic teams to manage foundations efficiently, by translating 20 years of legacy foundation management software into a modern, intuitive experience.
What we've done
1. First to market self-service software to manage private Foundations
2. Establish WCAG compliant design system
3. Automate manual processes from existing product
Creative Process
1. Education and research: Met with subject matter experts to learn existing software and philantrhopic solutions.
2. UX Audit of legacy software identifying improvents.
3. Lo-fidelity: Using the insights from my research, I used InVision to create several concepts to explore different design directions for the various pages and functions.
4. Testing and refinement: I refined pages and functionality based on feedback.
5. Hi-fidelity: After reviewing the lo-fidelities I created hi-fidelity designs using Sketch.
6. Finalization: This creative process was used throughout our agile sprints to complete Impactfully to deliver hi-fidelity designs to develompent.
Results
Impactfully would not be considered a market success. However, the updated code and designs have been used to update Foundation Sources previous softwares. The knowledge we gained has allowed us to build new products based off the failure we had in the market of Impactfully by building new products to other markets.
