We’re a group of seniors at Olin College of Engineering, working with the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) to redesign the HydroShare data sharing platform. Our focus is on user experience design, so throughout the 2017–18 school year we will be producing a variety of design frameworks and other deliverables that will help the HydroShare team re-evaluate their platform. Ideally, our work will also be documented well enough that the HydroShare team can recreate it in the future. Follow along in our journey if you’re interested in seeing user experience design at work in the software world.
