Products / An alumni business network
Help people find the businesses in their community.
Directory, business profile, and member-experience design for an alumni network.
Member onboarding
Business profile
Directory & filters
Business discovery
Make a network searchable.
A business network becomes more useful when someone can find a relevant company. The directory designs considered industry, location, company stage, size, and alumni context, with both tile and list views for browsing.
Give each business a useful place in it.
Company profiles and member onboarding extended the experience beyond the search results. The design explored how businesses present themselves and how membership levels and verification appear without making the directory difficult to read.
Connect discovery and participation.
The deliverables brought the public directory and member experience into a consistent interface direction. Example entries served to test the layout and hierarchy; they were design content, not evidence of membership or adoption.
