Recreation.gov: Modernizing a federal government icon

77 million people use Recreation.gov to book public land reservations, but competing search paths and unfamiliar IA created friction at every step. Redesigned the discovery experience by consolidating three entry points into one and restructuring filters around user mental models.

Adventure Loop: Making the outdoors more accessible

Buying used outdoor gear requires trust that most resale platforms don't earn. End-to-end UX and visual design for a secondhand gear marketplace — restructuring navigation around activity-based mental models and building a trust system that achieved a SUS score of 96.67.
