Changemakers funding platform
Changemakers.com ran Ashoka's social-innovation competitions, but innovators built a minimal profile to enter and rarely returned once a competition ended.
Design features that let innovators, funders and enthusiasts find each other, connect and grow ideas outside competitions, within the existing Drupal site.
I wrote the project brief, research and interaction model, ran working sessions with Ashoka, and produced the IA, annotated wireframes and visual directions.
