She worked directly with PNWRCC members to gather requirements, document user workflows, and understand the intricacies of the various departments. She produced wireframes that were used as an architecture to inform the development and database design and then worked with her design team to refine and define the aesthetics of the application. Together they created a robust mapping application backed by a powerful customized data repository that streamlines various user workflows into an integrated and intuitive system.
