I would not have been able to distill YTF's story unless I fully understood the complexities of it. Accordingly, I invested time into truly understanding the organization and its work. This meant talking to the founder and CEO as well as field staff, interviewing beneficiaries, analyzing relevant program documents, and closely reading content on their site. In addition, I carried out extensive research to understand the problems that the organization is addressing. This meant finding and reading research papers, white papers, and blog posts. After I completed my research, I designed visuals that explained the problems and programs. Designing visuals consisted of three steps: 1) deciding what we wanted to say 2) deciding how we wanted to say it 3) working on visual design. Part of a designer’s job is to become a storyteller and an editor. In that sense, my experience as a storyteller at YTF has been immensely helpful in helping me grow as a designer.
