Insights Synthesis
Through ethical participatory research with 3 stakeholders from the Mary Pickford Foundation and 6 LA arts nonprofits, we found that nonprofits struggle with limited resources and often work in silos.

Share Resources & Build Partnerships
Art nonprofits that work in silos can build partnerships and amplify collective impact by sharing resources.
Nonprofits effortlessly accept requests to share

Design Decision & Iteration
Insight 01
Chat box takes up excessive space, distracting users from the main task.
Insight 02
Information lacks clear hierarchy, causing user cognitive overload.
Insight 03
Action buttons clutter the interface, making key actions hard to identify.

Observing art nonprofits users heavily rely on email for communication. I designed an email system that determines when users receive specific messages when sharing and requesting resources.
