This case study presents a freelance UX/UI design project for Donna O’Connell’s personal website, which serves as a digital memoir of her life journey from childhood to adulthood, with a special emphasis on her poetic legacy.
The project was initiated and coordinated by Donna O’Connell’s son, who acted as the primary client and liaison throughout the process. The main objective was to create a heartfelt, user-friendly platform that would showcase Donna O’Connell’s life story, her extensive body of poetry work, and her family’s cherished photo album.
This website was not just about chronicling a life, but also about preserving and sharing the artistic expressions that were so central to Donna O’Connell’s identity. Donna O’Connell’s poetry was a monumental part of her life. She had several published poems and poetry books, which she wanted to be prominently featured on the website. Her desire was for her poetic works to be passed on through this digital platform, allowing her family and friends to enjoy and remember her through her words long after she was gone.
