StudentSafe: Designing an End-to-End Mobile Application
Mobile App Design
Reimagining Volunteer Training for Safer Spaces
[The Backstory]
Picture this: a youth pastor reaches out with a real concern - "We want to make sure every adult who volunteers with our teens knows how to keep them safe."
No fluff. No vague goals. Just a clear, urgent need: empower volunteers with tools to build safer, more accountable relationships with minors.
The ask? Create a digital experience that makes training accessible, engaging, and ongoing.

The Eager Leader
A young adult volunteer who is excited to help. Often balancing a full-time job and volunteering, the eager leader desires to grow personally while making a positive impact, but lacks experience in mentorship or safety protocols.
[Goal]
Provide mentorship to youth
Make a meaningful difference
Have clear guidance and tools
[Frustrations]
Limited time due to work
A general lack of training
Time management
[Branding & Design System]
Communicating brand values of safety, health, and professionalism, but with an inviting feeling and a sense of youth and playfulness. I designed the logo, set the color palette, chose the typography, sourced imagery and designed UI components that matched the brand.
[Outcomes]
Streamlined training for non-profit organizations
Increased safety for volunteers, stakeholders, and students
Improved mentorship for youth by improving safety
