Mother Earth Clan (MEC) is a grassroots organization co-founded by Lorene Sisquoc and Cindi Alvitre, whose members are descendants of Southern California Indigenous inhabitants. MEC saw a lack of Indigenous cultural education in public and private schools and took it upon themselves to create curriculum that centered traditional Native American practices to educate their communities. The organization now engages in a variety of projects, all of which have the common goal of connecting Indigenous American communities, preserving generational connections, and underlining the importance of caring for Mother Earth.

 

I redesigned the website for Mother Earth Clan (MEC), preserving its original content and imagery while implementing significant technical and visual improvements. My goal was to create a more engaging and intuitive experience that better reflects MEC’s mission and invites exploration. Through thoughtful design choices—grounded in clarity, curiosity, and user flow—I aimed to attract more visitors, raise awareness, and encourage deeper interaction with the site’s content.
