Chesapeake Bay Field Guide Redesign

Brief Overview: The Chesapeake Bay Program Field Guide provides insight into the critters and their habitats surrounding the Chesapeake Bay region. The field guide serves individuals, including nature enthusiasts, conservationists, advocates, educators, and potential visitors passing through the region.

Deliverables: Website and mobile redesign prototypes

My Role: Interface design, prototyping

Challenges: Currently, the Chesapeake Field Guide lives on the Chesapeake Bay Program’s website but does not provide users with the functionality to easily navigate the field guide. There is an inefficient organization of information across the field guide that can make it difficult for audiences to navigate.
