The State Parks website revamp was a multifaceted project aimed at overhauling the user interface and experience to secure a highly competitive renewal contract. As a key contributor, I led the transformation by introducing a strategic framework—Learn, Explore, Connect—enhanced with AI-driven personalization.
This initiative made the parks’ diverse offerings more accessible and engaging, significantly boosting user engagement and positioning the website as a standout solution among competitors.
