Google UX Course Certificate 1
Wild Selections, a sustainable seafood product line from Bumble Bee Foods, needed to connect with customers in a more relevant way. After performing customer analysis and competitive research, I provided a UX audit of their existing site. In addition to a review, I created a sitemap to optimize IA to closely align with the expectations of users. The homepage was reorganized following my wireframe. The homepage was redesigned from a static generic look and feel to an animated ocean theme to communicate the brand's positioning around sustainability in a fun, interactive format. This was accomplished by working cross-functionally with creative design and development teams.
