Jaringan Desa is a platform designed to bridge the digital divide in rural areas by creating a seamless communication network between village communities. The project’s goal was to enable better access to resources, knowledge sharing, and digital empowerment for village leaders and citizens alike.
Roles
Interaction Designer, Creative Strategist
Final iterations
With a focus on accessibility and simplicity, the design prioritized ease of use for a target audience that may not be familiar with technology. The platform provided key functionalities, such as information sharing, digital services, and communication tools, tailored to the needs of rural village communities.
Designing for inclusivity and accessibility
I took a proactive role in improving the platform’s accessibility by adjusting components to meet WCAG standards. Some elements were originally designed with 10px font sizes, which fell short of accessibility guidelines. I overhauled these components, ensuring they were not only accessible but also cleaner and more intuitive, making the platform easier to navigate for users with limited digital literacy.

UNHAS x JADE Iteration — Educational Platform within the apps for student-farmer connection
I contributed to the development of an educational platform aimed at connecting students with farmers. The platform was designed to foster understanding of agricultural practices and provide students with valuable insights into the farming community. By creating an intuitive and engaging user interface, the platform enabled students to learn more about the agricultural sector, gain practical knowledge, and interact directly with farmers to deepen their understanding.
