Lehigh.edu
Web design—layout and design systemsI redesigned Lehigh University’s website as part of the launch of its ‘Real’ brand platform, turning the university’s broad, cross-disciplinary ethos into a flexible, component-based digital system.
Because the site has many content contributors but limited design and web-development resources, I focused as much on the publishing experience as the front-end. I prioritised scalability—creating modular layouts, reusable components and clear guidelines that enabled contributors to build pages quickly while maintaining visual consistency across the site.
