As part of my UX Design Course with CareerFoundry I started this project. With a background in Human Rights I wanted to work on something that related to that. At the same time I was also getting trained as a legal advisor with the Refugee Law Clinic Berlin. Asylum Advice had the intention to fill the gap where in person advice could not help refugees get the information they needed to have a fair asylum procedure.
Asylum seekers are missing legal support during their asylum procedure.
Asylum seekers are struggling to access the legal advice they need while being overwhelmed and confused by the information they read about the asylum procedure.
We think that by creating a web app that enables asylum seekers to search for the advice and information they need, they will feel more empowered.
We think that by creating a web app that helps asylum seekers find the right legal help nearby, while preparing them for their advice session, would make them feel empowered.
He made the work with Asylum Advice much easier by having laid a solid foundation of user research. Apart from his professional design work he also has an extensive knowledge of refugee law and general human rights frameworks, which were essential for Asylum Advice. Michael is an excellent team player, gets work done with a no nonsense approach and is pleasant to work with.
