Redesigning the Nashville Coop Website

Project Summary
The focus of this project was to create a more efficient and user-friendly version of the Nashville Coop website. In collaboration with another peer, we conducted user research, designed wireframes, and created an upgraded final redesign. This iterative process optimized the functionality of the site and aligned with user needs.
