CARter Cote's DigitaL PORTFOLIO
Six Feet Supplies
WEB APP THAT CONNECTS AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS W/ COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS.

OVERVIEW
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Six Feet Supplies was created to deliver resources and supplies for at-risk individuals, all at zero cost. Run by 10 high school students, including myself, we have recruited over 300 different volunteers to deliver over $50,000 worth of groceries around Southern California.
My web app has had over 15,000 visitors, thus leading to over 500 deliveries in 14 different cities. Our team's work resulted in national spotlight on CNN, LA Times, Newsweek, and more. Click here for an article about the site.

THE PROBLEM
COVID-19 has left the immunocompromised disproportionately devoid of access to basic necessities, as they are forced to isolate in their homes.
As a result, residents in our home town, Santa Clarita, that are older or have underlying health conditions lacked the ability to retrieve groceries, or personal protective equipment.
THE SOLUTION
We offer FREE delivery for groceries, items in limited supply (i.e dairy items, meat), or emergency supplies per the user's request.
Using sanitization procedures approved by local nurses, our volunteers deliver the user's supplies in a timely and careful manner.
Following our success in Santa Clarita, we expanded to 14 other cities around California.
UX Process
Given the urgency at the beginning of the pandemic, the design and development process took place in a matter of days in order to create the web platform and our organization's infrstructure as quickly as possible.

Site Wireframes
Creating the site wireframe in Figma, I iterated through several versions of the user journey for placing an order. Ultimately, I was able to develop an easy-to-follow and simple process.
