Project summary

This capstone project was completed as part of my UX/UI Bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension. It involved partnering with a non-profit organization to apply and showcase our UX skills.


As I led this website redesign, we tackled with problems such as the lack of user trust due to the homepage's failure to clearly convey the non-profit's mission/story. Additionally, their website failed to showcase their impact numbers and tangible work, resulting in fewer donations for the cause.

Initially, only 10% of users could even find their impact numbers. But through our extensive user research and thoughtful design, we managed to bring the success rate of this task to over 70%.

In a lot of economically challenged sections of India, menstrual health issues are still considered taboo. Sirona Hygiene foundation tackles period poverty and gender inequality in India's economically challenged areas by donating menstrual cups to these underprivileged women as well as provides training and education for behaviour change to make the switch from cloth/pads to cups.

Through stateholder meeting, we understood that Sirona's primary user group is Corporate Social Resonsibility (CSR) teams from corporate firms.


  • Given our limited knowledge about this group, we had to understand their decision-making processes in partnering with non-profits.


  • Conducted secondary research to gain insights into CSR teams' motivations and pain points.

"Why is there this donation button everywhere on screen, when there is one on the top?"

- Anonymous User



Stakeholders had strongly wanted a floating donate button on all screens. We as designers did not agree with that. But instead of saying no for it, we opted for a user-testing approach to validate the decision.


Following user testing, we found that 4 out of 5 users expressed a preference for locating the donate button within the top nav menu rather than having a persistent floating button on the screen.

The floating donate button was controversial- stakeholders wanted it, but we had concerns. Instead of dismissing their idea, we validated it through user testing. Presenting user feedback instead of personal opinions ensured our design choices were based on real data rather than personal preferences. To be honest, I was a little proud of myself as a designer for showcasing this thought process.

project summary

This capstone project was completed as part of my UX/UI Bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension. It involved partnering with a non-profit organization to apply and showcase our UX skills.


As I led this website redesign, we tackled with problems such as the lack of user trust due to the homepage's failure to clearly convey the non-profit's mission/story. Additionally, their website failed to showcase their impact numbers and tangible work, resulting in fewer donations for the cause.

Initially, only 10% of users could even find their impact numbers. But through our extensive user research and thoughtful design, we managed to bring the success rate of this task to over 70%.
