The Five Corridors Project·Designed the identity and built a multilingual research platform for the Five Corridors Project, a major investigation into labor migration rights funded by Open Society Foundations and Humanity United. The study examined how governments regulate recruitment of migrant workers across five corridors — Myanmar to Thailand, Nepal to Qatar, Nepal to Kuwait, the Philippines to Taiwan, and Mexico to Canada — each chosen for active reform commitments or civil society networks that could put the research to use.
The design challenge was making dense policy research navigable. Over 300 interviews produced findings across 44 indicators, nine policy areas, and five corridors, each with its own recommendations. The audience ranged from government advisers to trade unions, and all content had to work in seven languages including Arabic, Nepali, and Thai.
I designed a corridor-by-corridor structure with distinct visual identities for each route, built on Craft CMS with full multilingual support. The interface lets readers move between corridors, policy areas, and recommendations without losing context — surfacing the connections between regions rather than burying them in report chapters.
The project launched in July 2021 and became the primary vehicle for FairSquare's policy recommendations to governments in all ten countries involved. The research addressed a gap — while private sector guidance on ethical recruitment was well-developed, little work had targeted what governments themselves could do to prevent abuse.
