Our work

Problem
Users seek clear information on gender equity initiatives, wanting to see real progress and accessible support resources. They struggle with fragmented information, motivated to find clear pathways to support and feel included in EDI communities. Users want credible, visually compelling, and engaging content that holds their attention and conveys important information effectively.
Solution
This site needed to inform, inspire, and connect users through clear content, strong visuals, and a focus on community engagement. The Athena Swan at Murdoch University website needs to be a professional, accessible, and engaging platform that highlights Murdoch’s commitment to Gender Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Outcome
This project successfully delivered a professional, accessible, and engaging Athena Swan at Murdoch website, exceeding client expectations and directly addressing user needs. The site now informs, inspires, and connects, providing clear progress and support while eliminating information disjointedness through intuitive navigation and engaging content.
Services

"The team made a genuine effort to understand the importance and impact of Athena Swan and this is reflected in their final design. I felt my feedback was taken on board at all stages of the project. The website design combines unique elements with general brand guidelines for Murdoch - essential for integration into the university website. My expectations have been exceeded and I congratulate the team on their impactful and engaging design."
