Generative designs for WE3.1

Description

Background

We want to mock up several potential concepts for WE3.1 based on the desk reseach and sketching exercises with the Web Team.

User story

  • Review the early concepts with stakeholders: @cmadeo @ovasileva @dchen @Jdlrobson and the web team
  • Revise the most promising concepts into medium-fidelity wireframes
  • Do a feasibility roadshow with the development team
