MY ROLE
As the lead experience strategist, I was responsible for orchestrating the research and design phases, focusing on understanding user needs through interviews and persona development.
I led the team in mapping out the customer journey, identifying key touchpoints, and ensuring that the website architecture catered to varied user intents and behaviors.
THE APPROACH
My approach involved a deep dive into service design-inspired methodologies to ensure that every aspect of the website was focusing on travelers and their needs.
This included competitive benchmarking, extensive user research, and the development of a UX strategy that prioritized ease of navigation and rich, engaging content.
The design was informed by the distinct seasonal and regional characteristics of Yukon, ensuring users could find information tailored to their interests and travel times.
RESULTS
The project successfully translated the essence of Yukon’s identity into a digital format, enriching the user experience with intuitive design and evocative content that faithfully reflects the destination's spirit and cultural richness.
The new Travel Yukon experience significantly bolstered Yukon's standing in a competitive field filled with other prominent natural and adventure destinations.
