Emily Meadows

I design structured content experiences that make complex digital information easier to understand and use. With a background in web design and psychology, I focus on information architecture, UX writing, and content systems — translating dense logic into clear user flows, navigable libraries, and decision-supporting interfaces. My work centers on reducing friction so people can confidently find what they need and move forward.

Core Competencies:

Content:

Content Strategy • Governance • Content Audits • Stakeholder Alignment

Design:

Information Architecture (IA) • Taxonomy & Labeling • User Journey Mapping • UX Writing • User Flows

Systems:

Content Systems & Governance • Modular Content Modeling • CMS Strategy (Sanity / Contentful) • Developer Handoff

Featured Work:

These projects showcase my work designing structured content systems, user flows, and information architectures for digital platforms. Each case highlights how I translate complex logic into clear, usable experiences across learning, product, and technical contexts.

Case Study: Dynamic Content Architecture & Adaptive Learning

Scalable Content Infrastructure for Global EdTech

Translated SME expertise into a dynamic, six-lesson learning experience, designing adaptive content states that change with learner progress. Built the information architecture, lesson flows, and developer-ready specifications to create a scalable, accessible, and interactive web platform. This project demonstrates end-to-end content design, UX, and systems thinking in action.

Case Study: Psychology-Informed Information Architecture

Psychology-Informed IA & Search-First Learning Systems

A set of detailed user personas created for a Master’s thesis project, FoodCreations.com. The mockup displays diverse user profiles with specific goals, pain points, and mental models. Each persona is mapped to a search-first information architecture, illustrating how the digital system accommodates different cognitive approaches to food and recipe discovery.

Applied cognitive psychology principles to design a search-first information architecture for FoodCreations.com. Created detailed user personas and mental models to inform navigation and taxonomy, prioritizing findability and usability across diverse user needs. This project demonstrates research-driven IA, user-centered design, and content strategy grounded in real user behavior.

Case Study: Content Governance & Operational Strategy

Operationalizing a Global Web Ecosystem (1000+ Assets)

Established governance frameworks and scalable content pipelines for a global web ecosystem of 1000+ assets at Time4Learning. Conducted a full content audit, aligned legacy content with brand standards, and designed metadata and production workflows to streamline operations. This project demonstrates content strategy, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration at scale.
