Diagnose the existing userflow, interface and overall user experience of a localized Google Maps API instance.

The existing map interface suffers from default UI clutter, disorderly tab navigation and hidden functionality. My redesign focused on remediating the barriers to usage these present.

The project was ordered by the Director of Web and Mobile Services, who provided direction and prioritized institutional focus. I was the sole designer working on this assessment.

The pre-defined nature of Google’s map service limited creative interpretation, instead leveraging design fundamentals like hierarchy in service to function.

The interactive prototype was created using Adobe XD.

In providing an actionable solution to improve usage, a hi-resolution/interactive prototype illustrates my design recommendations. As the project was speculative in nature, these changes have not yet been made to the live copy of the application.
