The redesign shifted the TACO Desk website from confusing to engaging:
Q3 had a 50% increase in ticket creation from Q2
The site became a central hub for nuclear information, approachable to students and researchers alike.
Branding consistency increased trust and recognizability, aligning the digital presence with TACO’s mission.
Physical outreach supported the site: QR codes on stickers, pens, and merch now drive traffic directly to the hub.

The project not only improved digital engagement but also extended TACO’s presence into the physical world, connecting curious users to reliable information with a single scan. In my design practice, I believe that making information accessible and digestible is a keystone of my work. I am driven by giving users the tools that they need to thrive in their curiosities.
