Katelynn: Gender Identity Project Web Internship

Katelynn's internship allowed her to conceptualize and design a new website for the Center's Gender Identity Project (GIP) at genderidentityproject.org.

She began the project by attending the Center's GIP Trans Coffee House, speaking with and surveying over 60 attendees about what resources and services would be most crucial to address on the new site. She then presented her findings to and brainstormed with the GIP staff. Based upon her research, Katelynn designed the new site by developing content, creating a "trans events calendar," adding a page dedicated to providing resources for the trans community and introducing "Trans Basics" which serves as an online educational tool for anyone interested in learning more about trans issues. She also reached out to members of the trans community, interviewed and photographed them, and ultimately profiled them on the site.

Katelynn unveiled the revamped Gender Identity Project website with a launch party celebration in November - see photos from the event!
