Revamping GISAU's Website and Design System

Community Project   Coming Soon

*GISAU is a student-led club promoting Indonesian culture based in the UBC Vancouver campus.

My Role

UX Designer

Overview

With this revamp, I want to infuse the GISAU website with the vibrant heart and soul of Indonesia. Picture vibrant batik patterns and modern design coming together to make every visit feel like a journey through an Indonesian marketplace. Our goal is to celebrate our culture, creating a warm and inviting space that feels like home. After years of the same look, it's time for a fresh update that honors our heritage and excites our community.

A Quick Overview

Background

Celebrating Indonesia at UBC 🎉
GISAU is a vibrant student-led club on the UBC Vancouver campus, passionately promoting Indonesian culture. The current GISAU website lacks the spark to truly represent the vibrant culture of Indonesia.

Problem

A digital space that feels outdated and disconnected 🕰️
The current GISAU website feels outdated and lacks the cultural warmth we want to share. It doesn’t capture the excitement or beauty of Indonesian culture, and visitors might leave without feeling that connection. Our community deserves a digital space that feels like home and reflects our vibrant heritage.

Target Audience

Cultural enthusiasts and the curious community 👫
Our primary audience includes students, faculty, and anyone interested in exploring Indonesian culture. Whether they’re club members or just curious visitors, we want to engage them with a website that tells a story and invites them into our world.

Goal

Creating a digital experience that feels like home 🏠
As I look to infuse our digital space with the warmth and color of Indonesia, I aim to reflect the heart of our culture through modern design elements inspired by Indonesia's identity—colorful, lively, and welcoming.
