Innovation Hub

The Innovation Hub is a student-initiated program that partners with the University to explore ways to enhance the campus experience. We facilitate connections within the U of T community and create opportunities for collaboration and problem-solving.

  • My Role for Innovation Hub

    Visual Designer (aka. digital storyteller)

  • Communications Team

    5 Visual Designers and UX research team

  • What I did

    Created icons, infographics and community outreach material (promotions/advertisements)

Design Challenge from Innovation Hub

“Create an infographic on one of our past projects that would be accessible to post on our website or circulate with our community.”

Recreating the Infographic

  • This was the original infographic, I gathered 4 students from UofT and asked them to tell me their thoughts out loud when they were reading the infographic. This allowed me to see confusion, what they liked and what was lacking.

  • I put their data and input in sticky notes and jotted down suggestions.

Final Look

  • Using the data provided and after multiple iterations, this is the final product that I designed.

  • I attempted to make the infographic more concise and clear while having more charts and visuals to help readers understand without being overwhelmed with information.

Task from Innovation Hub

Robarts Report Visuals and Tech2U Website Icons

Robarts Library

UofT’s Robarts library is redesigning its fifth floor into an innovative space for digital scholarship. Our UX researchers found that libraries evoke a sense of wonder that inspires students to explore new possibilities. This key finding can be broken down into three main themes: Libraries are Catalysts for Student Development, Libraries are the Home of Conversations, and Libraries are a Place of Opportunity.

I was tasked to create designs that represent these themes from their findings. I created sketches and after multiple iterations, the team chose 5 final theme icons. These icons will be used in the report for Robarts Library on the Innovation Hub’s website.

Tech2U Website Icons

I created 12 icons to be incorporated into Tech2U’s website. These were created on Figma and Adobe Illustrator.
