Often I receive requests that are very broad, like this one to redesign the Amazon Enviroment Health and Safety navigation page for a global launch of their new resources. The request was to make it look *fresh* and easier to navigate. Here I explain how a redesign with clear and cohesive brand identity helped hundreds of employees.

Problem 1. The communication assets were lacking a cohesive design between platforms and they did not have consistency over different locations around the globe.
Problem 2. The teams received a large number of trouble tickets requesting information that was already present on the pages. The page was outdated and was lacking a cohesive design between platforms.

Convey the message with the fewest words possible.Tone of voice – Amazon is friendly and authentic.Refrain from forceful and aggressive messaging.Some postings may need stronger language, use your best discretion.
Design for easy translation, worldly reasonable symbols.
Illustrations that target every user, no matter culture, language, or location.
Feedback from stakeholder
“Her vision and creativity helped us create a new global brand by keeping image and design style consistent. She created icons, larger images, headers, footers, buttons, maps, and more. Her images can be seen by all corporate offices globally.We could not have built our brand without her!”
Feedback from stakeholder
“At the onset, Maira took our simple, rudimentary information, and created beautiful, eye-catching informational signage. Also, she created dozens of unique graphics, and an entire brand identity with color pallet, and PowerPoint master slides.”
At least half of the tickets could have been resolved if the requester knew the areas that EHS covered in their region.
Feedback from stakeholder
“Maira is a creative and collaborative designer. She has completed many types of design requests that have been used for email communications, digital documents, templates, online training, presentations, and wiki materials that support a global rollout of standards.With her page redesign we have decreased the amount of trouble tickets. We love working with her”
