Editas Medicine partnered with our agency to design a Sharepoint employee intranet focused on enhancing internal communication, documentation access, and training engagement.
As a designer on this project, my first priority was to create an interface that felt welcoming and familiar. To foster a sense of connection and approachability, I illustrated the company's real-life office lobby and integrated it into the intranet header to personalize the experience.
From a UX perspective, I prioritized information hierarchy to balance utility and engagement. Quick links and company news were positioned at the top of the interface to support both task-oriented users and those browsing casually. This dual-purpose approach increased discoverability and kept users engaged longer.
Since launch, the intranet has achieved an average engagement time of 47 minutes per session, significantly outperforming the industry average of 16 minutes.
