MTN TOP
Project Concept:
This project tasked me with developing a human-centered design focused on a current issue.
Project Description:
My project was focused on the issue of declining conservation funds for Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife. My solution to this issue was to inform residents of Colorado - who enjoy Colorado’s parks and wildlife - on how they can get personally involved in supporting conservation efforts. I focused this project on three different deliverable formats: an event deliverable, a volunteer app, and environmental designs.
Year of Completion:
2021
Kind of Project:
Mobile App UX Design, Event Deliverable, Environmental and Print Poster Design
Discipline:
Multi-Disciplinary
Cleanup Coalition
The Cleanup Coalition is a volunteer event hosted by MTN TOP across Colorado State Parks. This event encourages parkgoers to sign up for “Trail Teams” where they will join groups of others to perform maintenance activities on their selected trail. Individuals can volunteer at an interactive kiosk. Once they have completed the volunteer sign up, they will be given the appropriate team wristband, and the ability to upload their trail team ticket to their mobile phone wallet. When their team shuttle time comes up, they will be shuttled to the proper trailhead inside wrapped Cleanup Coalition busses.
The mtn top app
In an effort to encourage increased volunteerism for Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife, MTN TOP provides parkgoers with the ability to find their closest and most intriguing volunteer opportunities based on their locations and interests after completing the volunteer quiz. This app keeps volunteers accountable by utilizing a social design element where individuals can share their experiences, compete in volunteer challenges, and share images of the places they visited.
Commit to trash free trails
To take this project a step forward, the Commit To Trash Free Trails campaign is a print and environmental design system to be displayed throughout Colorado State Parks. Signs, infographics, and trash bag and glove dispensers are to be stationed at trail heads and park entrances. This system is meant to keep conservation management front of mind. Following the signs, trail posts, in-ground trash cans, and wrapped dumpsters will be posted throughout park trails.
