AERU
A vast academic research library — agricultural economics, sustainability, policy analysis — made discoverable, searchable, and accessible to both researchers and the public.
Brief
Complex information architecture, clear navigation
Research, policy & economic insights
The AERU team at Lincoln University produce a vast amount of research — from agricultural economics to sustainability and policy analysis — and needed a website capable of housing and organising a large, complex library of academic work.
Architecture for hundreds of publications
I worked closely with the researchers to develop a clear information architecture that could handle hundreds of publications, while remaining easy to navigate for both academic and public audiences. The project involved planning sessions, content mapping, design, and development, all focused on usability and accessibility.
Outcome
A robust, professional platform that allows decades of research to be discovered, searched, and shared — helping AERU’s work reach the people who can put it into action.
