OVERVIEW

Thrive Out Loud is Aimed to Foster Professional Mentorship Between LGBTQIA+ Young Professionals With Mentors

Sean's Legacy, a 501c3 non-profit, is dedicated to offering resources, opportunities, and assistance to the LGBTQIA+ youth community. The organization aims to raise awareness among friends and family about preventing suicide among queer youth.

This mission is to aid minority LGBTQIA+ youth in their academic and extracurricular pursuits, advocate for gender inclusivity in educational institutions and communities, and prevent suicide through the provision of vital educational resources, scholarships, programs, and services.

PROBLEM

How Can We Create a Secure Platform to Foster Meaningful Connections and Guidance for LGBTQIA+ Young Professionals?

Upon doing design audits, my team uncovered numerous design inconsistencies and usability issues within the previous phases’ designs. Sean’s Legacy wants the best for Thrive Out Loud, and these problems would prevent the platform from achieving its goals. This phase is dedicated to making up for design debt and creating a responsive layout to enhance usability.

COLLABORATION

I am thoroughly enjoying this project due to the constant collaboration of all the teams, and everyone is encouraged to act as a liaison in other team’s meetings. This provides us with valuable insights into the workings of different groups, allowing us to offer input when necessary, and keep our team informed.

Further, we get to attend team sprint planning meetings to practice an agile methodology and watch our leads and the Sean’s Legacy team at work. At the end of each sprint, we have client demos to show the Sean’s Legacy team what we have accomplished and get feedback.
