My Role
My role in this project was to facilitate the User Research, implement the design solutions, execute the UI designs, and maintain brand awareness.
The Problem
The complexity and opacity of legal documents, which can be daunting and inaccessible to many individuals due to their jargon-filled language and technical terminology, prevents the average person from fully grasping these text heavy agreements. These documents often serve as critical resources for individuals needing to understand their rights, obligations, and legal responsibilities. However, the dense and convoluted nature of legal language can create significant barriers to comprehension, especially for those without legal training or proficiency in the language used.
