Small UX enhancement to high-traffic Drupal site
This was a small pro-bono exercise for the Office of Letters and Light, a registered charity which runs a massive annual writing challenge that inspires creativity and puts a heavy toll on their weary server racks during the campaign.

Organisation chief Chris Baty was unhappy with the UX of a secondary row of tabs on a user account template, and wanted an elegant solution. Basically the first row of tabs looked intentionally funky and bulbous, but when a nested list created a secondary row beneath the first, the same bulbous funkiness was out of order. I devised a simple answer -- a single tab beneath the first, and styling which separated each item on the lower tab but carefully matched the overall brand styling. I produced image assets and implemented the scheme, and he then happily integrated my revisions into the live site.
