Information includes: room location (shown via map), faculty information, and upcoming events. This system is catered primarily towards users who are new to the building and seek geographic assistance or faculty office hours/contact information. The main feature that our client wanted to implement into the system is the ability to facilitate voice interactions. Our client envisioned users having verbal interactions with the system by asking for assistance, which results in the users receiving both audio feedback (via the system's built-in speakers), and visual feedback (via a user interface that our team designed).

I was responsible for redesigning the company's website using previously used content. I utilized the WIX web builder to implement the website using the design mockups I've created. Also, part of my responsibility was to consistently monitor the website to make sure it is fully-functional, proofread all the different sections, update content such as texts and/or images, and integrate social media (and making sure new posts on the website transcend the web space and appear on social media).***Note: California Educational Centers and Blind Start of America are sister companies.***
