This collaborative research initiative focused on user needs, pain points, and content accessibility for the redesign of Toronto's historic Diction Hall website.

The team combined user surveys, stakeholder interviews, and competitor reviews to understand how visitors searched for events, history, and booking information.

The resulting recommendations gave the design team a clearer path toward better mobile navigation, stronger storytelling, and easier booking discovery.
