The Syrian Memories platform was conceived to showcase and honor Syria's cultural diversity through a bilingual interface. Designed to transcend language barriers, it features stories in both Arabic and English. Extensive wireframes and mockups guided its user-friendly design, while community engagement and thorough research enriched the site with a broad spectrum of Syrian narratives. Emphasizing accessibility, I iterated the design based on beta tester feedback to optimize the user experience.
