This project aims to address identified issues with the National Park Service’s brand identity and user experience on their mobile app. Created solely for educational and creative purposes and not affiliated with the National Park Service.

The Challenge

The National Park Service’s previous app made it difficult for users to discover parks and access relevant information. Poor navigation, lack of personalization, and limited updates led to a disjointed user experience.

The Audience

Park visitors of all ages, from families to solo adventurers. Cater to both tech-savvy users and those less familiar with technology.

The Visual Direction

Drawing from real world inspirations and translating into a cohesive brand direction.

The Solution
  1. Innovative Features

    Incorporate augmented reality to make exploration more engaging and bring the park to life. 


  2. Environmental Education

    Offer educational content on the park's ecosystem, flora, fauna, and conservation efforts to promote awareness and appreciation for the environment.


  3. Community Engagement

    Include features that encourage users to share their experiences and participate in park-related events.

The Result

The redesigned app enhances user engagement by offering personalized park recommendations, real-time updates, and tailored content for each park.
