As this is a live project, there are only some aspects that I'm able to share. However, you can take a look at some of what we've been up to on the beta version of the public site here:

beta.ramblers.org.uk

Nomensa and Ramblers have been working together since the beginning of the pandemic to build a new suite of digital tools for their volunteers, walkers and members. We were first approached to help the Ramblers build an MVP website, within 3 agile sprints. This work was informed by a lean research discovery, which identified user personas, information architecture, content guidelines and key user journeys.

I joined the project as Project Director at the end of this discovery, leading the team as we transitioned the discovery findings into wireframes, prototypes and development ready page designs. I've continued the role of director since then, where I take on product ownership during sprints, and provide UX and UI capabilities when the team requires.

Throughout 2021, I've also led an additional development team to deliver the MVP for the public website, as well as design and build a new internal tool for Ramblers' volunteers to use to curate walks and events for their groups. This tool went live in early 2022, after a period of beta testing. I defined, scoped and designed this tool, working across UX ,UI, BA and Product Owner functions.

There is a lot more to this programme, we are currently working across 4 separate work-streams and development teams to deliver the final aspects of the website, which we are hoping to share more on soon.
