DETAILS
The Burns Institute is a leading nonprofit organization in the field of juvenile justice and ethnic and racial disparities reduction, with a focus on advancing the well-being of all children and their communities.
I worked with Burns Institute to redesign and build a brand new website. Their primary goals included increasing visibility to reach clients in need, improving online giving, and updating the site from the previous, outdated design.

This includes holding national conference and meetings, and publications of numerous fact sheets and newsletters on policy issues and articles of interest on juvenile justice.

One of the key feature was to visually illustrate the juvenile ethnic/racial groups disparity. Interactive charts and tables were embedded to illustrate data.
