International College UOA
For the University of Auckland International College (UoAIC), I designed and built the website within an existing brand and design system, translating established University of Auckland brand guidelines into a functional, content-heavy site for prospective international students. Rather than developing the identity, the focus here was on applying it consistently and thoughtfully across a large, multi-section page.
Design system application
Working within the University of Auckland’s established visual language, deep navy blue, confident sans-serif typography, and a structured grid, I translated the existing brand guidelines into a page layout built for information density without feeling overwhelming. Consistent use of colour blocking, iconography, and card-based components helps organise a wide range of content, from rankings and credentials to student stories and news updates, while keeping the University’s institutional authority front and centre.
Structure & content
The page is built to guide prospective international students through a clear journey: an introduction to the Foundation Studies pathway, credibility markers (world rankings, accreditations), orientation and enrolment information, and social proof through student stories and live news updates. Repeating card and grid patterns from the design system keep each section visually consistent, while calls-to-action (Learn more, Apply now, Take Virtual Campus Tour) are placed at natural decision points throughout the page.
