User Research
Problem Identification Our research, supported by an interview with the Director of the P.E.A.C.E. Initiative, highlights a critical crisis: Bexar County remains one of the most dangerous regions for women and children regarding domestic violence. While the organization’s current digital presence aims to serve a broad demographic—spanning all ages and genders—there is a vital need to more effectively educate the community. The challenge lies in creating a platform that addresses the universal nature of domestic violence while providing tailored, life-saving resources for diverse groups.
