NASA Redesign

The new NASA Design System 

For decades, NASA agencies and programs tackled their web presence independently, leading to over 3,000 divergent websites. Blink has developed a comprehensive design system, and content strategy that prioritizes user needs, inclusive design (accessibility), education, storytelling, and incredible amounts of freely available scientific data.

I led the multidisciplinary team that is providing Research, Design, Content Strategy, SEO, and Accessibility consulting services for this multi-year project.

“In addition to our typical dedication to designing a delightful user experience, we are equally committed to making NASA the world leader in scientific communication design”
