Scientists Without Borders looks to redesign and add a global collaboration platform to their website

Role: Visual Design

Scientists Without Borders is a prestigious international organization of scientists united to solve difficult, global, scientific problems. They received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to build a “Questions and Answers Forum” for a select group of scientists to share information and ideas between themselves. I led the visual design for our team at Lybba (a non-profit health-focused design firm) to execute this request.

Clicking into a question shows the entire question content as well as all answers posted, along with most other information you’d be likely to see on a collaborative quorum. It is specifically focused towards the scientific community, allowing for clear areas for supporting documents, links, and the ability to rate specific aspects of the answers.
