Overview

Our team created a compelling product vision that multiple stakeholder groups could rally around, and would serve the needs of a very diverse user group. Our high fidelity prototype brought a new bird migration data app to life, showcasing unique visualizations, geospatial data, educational content, local environmental issues and more.

Challenge

The Audubon Society wanted to develop a digital platform that combines multiple bird migration data sources into an engaging and educational online experience. The goal was to support multiple audiences - from the general public to scientists - highlight migration patterns, showcase local bird connections, educate on threats, drive local conservation and solicit both data and donations.

Solution

  • Ran a large survey to validate product hypotheses across multiple audiences.
  • Conducted in-depth interviews with bird scientists, Audubon corporate and field staff, board members, bird enthusiast and the general public.
  • Crafted competitive positioning, messaging and brand architecture.
  • Created an engaging visual prototype, using geospatial mapping visualizations, localized bird data and threat content 
  • Provided data and tech architecture audit and recommendation.

Results

  • Helped the Audubon team prioritize and align on a solution to meet the needs of multiple audiences.  
  • The strong visual prototyping work set the foundation for the development of the v1 platform, which is now live at https://explorer.audubon.org/home
